I'd add this bit of advice first:
Take all that crap out of your console, then unscrew the 4 screws in the pocket, then the two screws in the cupholders in the front. Next, unscrew your shift ball and shift into neutral. pull up the e-brake as high as you can. Now lift the back of the console high enough so you can see the brake equalizer. Make sure that it is pulling both of the cables equally. If it's not, then you're going to need to take off the brake rotor on the side that's not moving right and try working the cable in and out enough to free it up.
In my case, the drivers side was stuck solid until I sprayed the workings of the cable/drum assembly with brake cleaner and then worked the cable several times. After I put it all back together then I was able to adjust both sides. Now my ebrake cable pulls both equally and I confirmed this by a hard yank on the ebrake at 10mph which produced two equal length skid marks.
