First of all there is a small chance there is an adjuster nut on the handbrake arm under the plastic cover on your hand brake lever. If not then youll have to jack the car up, undo the heat shield thats in the middle of the car above the exhaust/cat and youll see the adjuster nut, youll need a deepish socket 25mm iirc.
