VY handbrake troubles

[romojohnny]

Hi all extremely sorry for bringing the handbrake subject up again.
I want to tighten the handbrake, I know its got to do with taking the wheel off and screwing something.
I went under the car today but I would like some photos of the operation of tightening if any1 could provide pics ??

is it looser on one side than the other? If yes, then you need to do a search on how to adjust the handbrake, it is the same from VT to VY i'm sure. You can either take the rotor off to do it, or apparently there's a way to adjust it with the rotor on, but I haven't completely figured that one out yet.
If it is just loose and engaging evenly, then adjust it from the lever, once again do a search, i'm too tired.
anyone else?

You can adjust it from inside the car by looking under the handbrake cover, there will be a nut you will need to adjust.
If its maxed out you will have to
Jack up the car on both sides and support it with stands and remove the wheels
back off the nut in the car
now here is where you have 2 choices
you can remove the 2 black rubber plugs and then turn the hub untill you see a small toothed wheel thing and flick it with a screwdriver or
remove the brake and take the disk off and then you can see (much better ) whats going on and what to do. I had to do it this way on one side as it would just not line up. And its i think its better and just not as hard to do it thid way

I had a problem with my handbrake being very weak on my VY ute even when fully tightened from inside cab, Turned out the cable that runs from handle, then splits into 2 different cables at a junction.
1 cable had came of its hook where it connects to the disc break so only 1 wheel was being actuated. Also due to the nature of the joint between the 2 cables to a single cable if one cable becomes unconnected it allows the junction to rotate making the cable essential longer and not able to provide as much tension so the remaining wheel.

Mine was a simple fix of getting someone to pull the little hook back until i could reach the wire loop back over it.
