Adjusting Handbrake - Subaru Sherpa

Postby garbo41610 » Mon Apr 11, 2011 8:54 am

Hi all,

Just looking for some advice on tightening up my handbrake. It is getting a little loose and the car is starting to roll back on hills with the hand brake engaged. My question is; should I tighten the handbrake cable with the handbrake engaged (pulled up) or disengaged???

I have done a lot of things on cars, replacing bibs and bobs fixing things etc but for some reason, I have never adjusted a handbrake lol.

Cheers,
Phil.
