Adjusting Hand-break. How To?

[kvadgama]

My hand-break is very loose and wanted to adjust it so that I can apply the breaks properly with 4-5 clicks. Right now I have to pull up and there is about 11 clicks before it is fully engaged.
I have 96 328.
Is there any DIY anywhere (link) or someone please explain the procedure.
I checked pelican but does not have it.

Appreciate any help.

I think it depends on how used up the brake pads are.

I haven't done it, but I probably should soon, mine's in about the same shape as yours. Post again if it works out. Good luck!

im in the same boat as the rest of you. while it hasnt heppened yet, im just waiting for the day that i park on a hill, set the handbrake and get out of the car just in time to watch it start rolling right back down.

basically, i im prolly about due
