Cannot quite figure out what is wrong. I cant pull it and the lever stays up...But the brake doesn't engage. Any ideas?

Broken cable, too much slack, or something wrong with the cable setup or brake drums. 

 

As the cables age they do get more slack, there is usually an adjuster you can tighten to reduce the slack if it is not already maxed out.

Haven't looked yet. I did the rear breaks but didn't think to look to see if it was hooked up. But ill check both of those.

 

How do you not know if they're hooked up if you did the brakes?

You need to remove the ebrake actuator from the old trailing shoe to install a new one.
