Ajusting Handbrake On A 53 Plate Avensis D4d Estate

[jem555]

how do you ajust the hand brake any body no

[alan333]

If it's a T25 there's shoes inside small drums built into the rear discs. They adjust like old school shoes ie turn the adjuster.

hi its a t3-s

[jem555]

also how do you ajust the hand brake cable

[alan333]

If it's a T3s then it's a T25 shape, I'd adjust the shoes first. IIRC you can do it through the hole of a removed wheel nut, no need to take wheel off.

will that take up the slack on the cable

[alan333]

No but it'll take up slack at the drums. If the shoes are properly adjusted and the handbrake is still rubbish then look at the cable.
