The hand brake is on the inside of the rear rotor. You will need to remove the wheel to access the adjuster hole in the rotor. If it doesn't have one (known to happen) or it isn't lined up with the hole on the axle, you will need to remove the caliper and the rotor.
Back the cable adjustment right off first that is under the middle of the car, then adjust the hand brake shoes up until it locks the wheel up, back them off until the wheel spins freely without the shoes touching, then adjust the cable up until you get about 5-7 clicks on the handle.
Awesome mate . Thanks for that . I was wondering why i couldn't find any adjusters from under the car![]()
