If its on disc brakes it will have a drum handbrake. to adjust you first loosen off the hand brake cable. Then chock the front wheels and jack up the rear axle, remove the wheels and in the center of the hub there should be a rubber bung and a hole around 16mm. rotate the wheel hub until the hole aligns up with the adjusting wheel. rotate the adjusting wheel until the wheel hub wont turn. back off the adjusting wheel until the wheel hub turns free. refit wheels and tighten wheel nuts. now adjust hand brake cable to remove the slack. job done! also remember that the hand brake should be self adjusting so use it often to keep it adjusted.

Handbrakes do not self adjust.

That works on the website version, but I am on my HTC so I used the search function available, never the less, thank you for the result

I have problems on my iphone too, sometimes it won't load at all.
