Hown to loosen off handbrake

[jeno87]

Hey all. I had a mate service my car and change my brake pads and tighten my handbrake for me 2 weeks ago. Since then, after having it in park and taking off after being in park, my handbrake makes a thump after I release it and only after I start taking off. Anyone know what this could mean? Or maybe the handbrake was tightened too much? I loosened it off one turn while the handbrake was up. Should I try it another one or two turns and see if it fixes it?

Just jack up the rear (blocks or stands) and adjust both appropriately.. Poor form if it's been done via the cable tensioner at the handle.
