      Hi all

      What is the best procedure to adjust a handbrake (parking brake)?

      About 1 year ago, my handbrake was struggling to keep car still on a hill. So I found an adjuster for the handbrake in the car, which tightened the cable. This did the trick for a while but then it happened again a couple months later.

      So I took it to a shop and they adjusted the handbrake via the drums… I would love to know how to do this? Is there only 1 cable – if so, does the brake cable control just one drum or both?

      Thanks

        They make the spring like that to hold the adjuster from turning by itself…..Engineers…….SHEESH!
