Parking break not biting

I've recently replaced my rear passanger side caliper because my last one's worm gear broke. The replacement went fine, stuggled a little with bleeding the breaks but now the pedal break seems to be working fine. However the parking break on the caliper I replaced doesnt seem to be biting. The Left side which is the old one seems to work fine, but the right side not at all or very little. Any one have any thoughts on what I could do to remedy the situation? I dont think the parking break rely's on the fluid so bleeding the breaks I doubt will help. The spring was attached and the cable was attached, I didnt think it was rocket science.

Thanks,

Tighten the nut on the e-brake handle it's at the bottom. you'll need a deep 10mm socket a small extension and a ratchet. tighten it not to much then go in reverse and use the e-brake to stop. do this until you feel the brake working. oh yeah, don't flat spot your tires
