172 cup - adjusting the handbrake

[Mada05]

My handbrake is very high when it is applied, it really could do with coming down a few inches. How would I go about doing this?

could mean you need new rear brake shoes mate. mine come up high and i found after changing my shoes it now come up alot less. i beleive most newer clios have self adjustment on the hand brake so unless ur shoes r completely shagged (like mine were) ur handbrake should auto adjust so it doesnt come up too high

what model clio do you own?

Clio 172 cup (as per the title )

Check rear pads first...! If ok

Then get it in the air, take off centre heat sheld 4 torx bolts.

You need a long extension and 13mm socket. ( with hand brake off..! )

Adjust. dont go made though.

If happy put heatsheld back on. lower

Job Done.
