Adjusting the Handbrake on an Opel Corsa D

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Parking brake

In this video, see how to quickly adjust the handbrake on an Opel Corsa "D" version. You will need a 13 mm socket and a flat screwdriver. This procedure is valid only if the cables are not excessively worn. Lift the mat in the area between the front seats, then remove the plastic cover over the handbrake (attached with clips, use the screwdriver to gently unlock it). You will see two cables connected to a balance lever with a central adjusting nut. Adjust the tension by slightly loosening the 13 mm lock nut: turn the adjustment screw clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. Usually, 1-2 turns are sufficient. Lock the nut and replace the plastic cover. The lever should typically not require more than 3-4 clicks.
