[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 635790, member: 20098"] Are you adjusting the rear shoes before adjusting the handbrake cable? Assuming the procedure is similar for all rear drum brakes, the shoes need adjusting until they just start to drag (noting that you may have to pump the brake pedal throughout the procedure to keep the shoes centred) and then back the adjusters off by 3 clicks. After this the handbrake cable can be adjusted. If you’re running out of adjustment at this point, it would suggest the cables are worn (stretched) or are the wrong length. [/QUOTE]
