You might be able to get at the adjuster screw by removing the rear ashtray
- if not you should be able to see it and then get at it by removing the
rear part of the console. It operates on both cables simultaneously by
moving an "equalizer" forwards/backwards on the rod coming from the
handbrake lever. If the equalizer is badly unbalanced, there's a problem
with the cables or their sheathes.
