There is a write up about the back shoes somewhere, from memory it's just on the back


of the drum as you would ajust any shoe type brakes with a screwdriver,
To get at the cable adjustment you take the little mat out where your drink holder is , in front of your console where you rest your arm,take out the 2 screws and grip firmly and pull up , it is tight but pul it out of it's clips you will then see the handbrake cables and adjuster nut, clockwise to tighten,
Got instructions from Bushbasher. Easy job.
