How do you adjust the handbrake of the Jeep Wrangler?

Model: Jeep Wrangler MK 3, JK - Years 2007-2018
Part: Parking brake

In order to adjust the handbrake of the Jeep Wrangler, you need to lift the car so that you can loosen the screws that secure the rear right wheel: once these screws are loosened, you can completely remove the wheel so that you can access the underlying brake drum. Inside the drum, there will be the brake shoes that regulate the operation of the handbrake: by tightening the shoe nut, it will be possible to make the handbrake harder; conversely, by loosening the nut, it will be possible to reduce the handbrake travel and loosen it.
