Alright troops.

The short version is I don't know how to adjust my handbrake and I need your help.

The longer version is:

A few months ago I replaced the rear wheel bearings and noticed the rear shoes needed replacing to. So I did.

The weird twisty arm thingy at the top of the drum (that connects the shoes) still haunts my nightmares, but I got the damn things installed.

Failed an MOT today on an ineffective handbrake. How do I adjust the handbrake back into working, without losing my mind again?

Thanks,

Sith

Hi Sith...hopefully this is the same setup as your Micra?

If so, then the adjustment is the scrolled wheel at the top of the self-adjusting ratchet lever (which incidentally must be sat within the slot in the self-adjuster rod between the shoes)....take the drum off and turn the wheel until the shoes just touch the drum and refit...try the handbrake to ensure the drum locks and runs free (with a minimal drag) and that should do it.
