[DeTomaso] Rear stock calipers sticking

I just installed the Wilwoods on the front mount of the back brake and left
the stock calipers on the rear mount as a parking brake. The hydraulics are
not hooked up to the stock calipers and instead there is a fitting to allow
the slave cylinder to breath normally but not gather dirt.
The parking brake has in the past not released fully and I've just grown
accustomed to not using it. While it all was apart, i tried to figure out
why. The parking brake cable bracket on the caliper can be pushed back
with some effort, but it does not move freely and the spring has little
effect on it.
Is that normal and if not, what might be the remedies?
Thanks!
