How do I tighten the handbrake

[Mich1234]

Hi, I am trying to figure out how I tighten the handbrake on a 2020, can I adjust the cable at the gear stick or do I have to do it in the drums?

You can adjust the handbrake at both ends. If you have slack in the cable then just tighten it up on the cable to take the slack out, personally I prefer to adjust it on the drums and then adjust the cable but that involves taking the drums off.

If you pull the handbrake on a bit you can see a 10mm nut on a threaded bar and you can get in with a deep 10mm socket and an extension to adjust it.
