If you've got discs, there's a bolt on the back of the caliper. Take it out and underneath, there's an allan key thingy which pre-loads the piston. Turn clock-wise 'till it's tight, then back of 1/3 of a turn. I'm afraid I don't have drums, so I'm not sure how they work.

sit in the drivers seat, and look down at the little box that the handbrake lever comes out of and theres to rubber seals running either side of the handbrake (to stop dirt getting in) pull em back slightly and theres a little adjuster next to the handle twist it round with a socket and it will tighten and untighten!!!! simple as!!!!!!!

:wink:
