My handbrake has to be pulled up way too high for it to take effect. I want to adjust it down to like 4-5 clicks. Does anybody know how I can adjust the hand brake? Thanks

adjusting at the hand brake itself only adjusts the cable. If you got rear drums, the shoes are actually used when braking. If you adjust at the brakes, you're actually moving the shoes closer to the drum, and this will result in a better response in your brakes.

So it would be ok for me to just adjust the spindle/cable since my rear are not drums?
