THE HAND BRAKE IS MENT TO BE SELF ADJUSTING (BUT IT OLNY WORKS WHEN NEW)

STEP1 WITH H/BRAKE OFF ON LEVEL GROUND LIFT UP HAND BRAKE LEVER SURROUND AND DE ADJUST CABLE

STEP2 REMOVE REAR DRUMS AND USE A FLAT SCREW DRIVER GET BETWEEN THE WHEEL CYLINDER AND DOWN THE BACK OF THE LEADING SHOE (CLOSEST TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR) AND PRISE OUTWARDS YOU WILL SEE THE ADJUSTER MOVE AND WIL MAKE A CLICKING SOUND

DO NOT OVER ADJUST KEEP CHECKING DRUM STILL SPINS FREELEY BINDING IS BAD YOU MIGHT ALSO NEED TO REMOVE THE LIP OF CORROSION FROM THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE DRUM

WHEN HAPPY WITH DRUMS REPLACE THEM AND ADJUST THE HAND BRAKE CABLE INSIDE THE CAR 3-5 CLICKS IS IDEAL BUT MAKE SURE THEY ARE STILL MOVING FAIRLY FREELEY
