Default 93 Sol, new rear calipers, parking brake not working ???????????????

Just installed new front and rear calipers, brakes bledseveral times and foot brake works fine.
Problem with the parking brake, it worked well before the new calipers but no matter how much tension I ajust the cables, the pads just don't move. The cams are moving the piston oh so just a little bit, not enough to tighten them onto the rotors.
Is the parking brake a mechanical cam pushing the piston or hydraulic.
What did I do wrong ?

Forget it, I fixed it, there's a special procedure in the honda shop manual that states bleeding the brakes, then pressing them a few times gently, then adjust the parking brake cables, seems to work.
