What the others say but also it couldn’t hurt to remove the rear rotors & clean the e-brakes w/brake clean. Since you have the calipers off too you can check the pads & push the pistons in (slowly!) to make sure they don’t stick. After cleaning the e-brake try turning the star wheel from the outside & note which direction the shoes move. I just did this on my ’84 beater & found all 4 shoes cracked
