If it has rear drum brakes, it's under the car, where the handbrake cable emerges from inside the car.

If it has rear disk brakes, there is addition adjustment inside the rear disks on the handbrake shoe mechanism. This adjustment should be carried out before attempting to adjust the cable.

Adjust handbrake on vectra c?

It is very easy to adjust the handbrake on a Vectra C. All you need to do is remove the rear console and release the handbrake. Under the handbrake is a cable with a white end fitting, push down the end fitting onto the plastic locking device. Then pull the lever and it will be adjusted.

How do you adjust the rear brakes on a peugot 106?

Release the handbrake, pump the brake pedal a few times to settle the brakes, then apply and release the handbrake a few times. The rear brakes are self adjusting so be careful not to over do it or you will end up locking the your drums. If this does not work, then you need to get the tools out. Jack the rear of the car up, use axle stands for safety. Slacken off the handbrake cable adjuster nut, lift handbrake lever up 4 clicks, tighten handbrake cable adjuster nut until it takes up the slack, check rear drums rotate freely, job done.

How do you adjust the BA falcon handbrake rear wheel adjustment not the cable adjuster under the car?

make sure the cable adjustment is all the way off before you adjust the shoes which are inboard the rear rotor, there are specs for these but if you remove the tin cover at the rear of the shoe adjuster you can then poke a screwdriver or small brake adjuster in there an adjust till you cannot move the wheel, that will centre the h/brake shoes then back the adjuster off till the wheel spins free, then re/adjust your cable last ,,if you adjust your cable first you will only be adjusting one shoe not both ,,hope this does the job,, mick
