Video tutorial

Today, this brief video tutorial will show you how to adjust the handbrake in a few simple steps. The first step is to disengage the adjuster from the handbrake and position the handbrake in the lowest position, that is, when it is fully down.

From that position, you can tighten or loosen the levers to adjust it correctly; simply insert a screwdriver into the hole as shown in the video and proceed. Occasionally pull the handbrake to check the adjustment.

When you have finished, reassemble everything.
