Help would really be appreciated :)

My handbrake needs adjusting and been told to adjust it from the drums as the nut inside car by handbrake is fully adjusted, is there any guides on here or on the Internet i. How to take apart drum brakes and adjust?

Thanks.

Hi

Chances are your cables will be stretched. However firstly loosen your handbrake adjuster on lever. Then re-adjust rear shoes to correct point.By this i mean slight contact not jamming whilst spinning drum.Then adjust handbrake cables. Hope this helps mate
