mondeo handbrake/ emergency brake cable problem?

Hi, my primary handbrake cable on this car (it's the early saloon type) from the handbrake to the equaliser bar where the individual wheel cables attatch recently broke... I've got a new one, and it's the same length as the old one, but for some reason the secondary cables are about 5 inches too short, and won't move forward any...i've tried releasing the cable adjuster but to no avail... so why can't I fit my cable? Hellpppppp! Thanks, Simon

    If the cables are not reaching the equaliser and the handbrake is off and there is no adjustment then the bisector levers in the rear wheel cylinders or the cables are seized
