Default Did I just bust my E-Brake while doing a rear brake job?

I pulled a Noob move and left the E-brake engaged while trying to remove the rear rotor. After a couple of good smacks from a hammer and some pulling I was able to get the rotor off so it and the pads could be replaced.

While tightening the lug nuts after the brakes were reassembled there is now a sort of springy/scrapey noise that come from what I believe to be the E-brake.

Not too sure how the E-brake works but I had a look at it looks more or less okay... The Shoes are in decent shape. They could perhaps stand to be compressed some...

Any advise? Did i just bust my E-brake on that side? What is involved in rebuilding the E-brake? Thanks!

I'd like to refer anyone who encounters this post in the future to check out another forum. This one is not very helpful.

This Forum has many more technical people and info for people who are DIY inclined.
