my rear handbrakes (98 CX, 46k miles) wonky too. takes 8 clicks to engage!

before i go adjust it i want to check the rear shoes, since im afraid my
girlfriend may have driven with the parking brake on. rear shoes dont
just "go" in 46k miles, and the handbrake shouldnt need an adjustment.

bleh.

but while im in there, i might as well smear some more grease in the
untouched bearings and bleed the brakes front and rear, starting w/ the
rear of course.

any other hints/tips/tricks/advice?
