My daughters clio's rear brakes were sticking on and the peddle was hard.
Anyway I pulled them apart the shoes were knackered & the cylinders started
to leak, I ordered the bits (I was told there are 4 different types of
shoes). I couldn't see any adjustments for the handbrake cable (the haynes
manual said there should be an adjuster underneath or in the car. I fitted
the shoes and cylinder pulled on the handbrake and the damn thing snapped on
one side. Anyway does anybody know how the handbrake is adjusted? - seems
strange that I can't find an adjuster for this damn thing.

Many vehicles have the adjuster at the handbrake lever itself, pull the trim
off around it and take a look. could be a nut on the end of the cable to
the side of the lever or at the rear end of the lever.
