There is a cable that has an eyelet that hooks around the top brake shoe pivot point and wraps around down to the piece that holds tension on the adjuster. Should that cable be a little loose or very taught? Mine is a little loose, same on both sides and I don't think anything is installed wrong but just wanted to check. thanks Tony
