my handbrakes are not as good anymore... wen i park
on my driveway, pull up the 86 handbrake i find myself rolling backwards... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif
i noe 1 way of tightening the handbrakes.. take the rear wheels off and just
tighten it with that little cog thing... is there another easier way?

There is a small adjuster nut on the handbrake lever, look under the black rubber and you will see it. Its on the drivers side. Use that to tighten up the cables if they have stretched...

But ideally try and adjust them up at the rear shoes first as I gather that is what you have.

yeah shoes first, lever last. otherwise if the shoes aren't adjusted up enough and you just keep tightening the cables you can end up stretching them.
