Hand brake adjustment

[Shmanwell]

Before anything else I specify that I am French and that my English is not very good.

I would like to tighten the handbrake cable of my 1978 BJ40, but I do not find how to do it.
The cable is the same as this one:

I thought I could fix it by screwing or unscrewing this part:

But no. would you know a solution?
Thank you

Check this post. Shows the drum adjustment on a 72 fj40. Hopefully yours is similar.

thank you for your answer 1962fj40.
But the setting of the drum is good.
If I serve one more notch the drive shaft is stuck. I want to adjust the length of the brake zipper

It looks to me

Yes

That is the adjustment if you look and compare the cable you posted in the link and yours you see the threads out a bit ... but... on the place you bought it from I do not see any

The thru bolt must ride on the inside of the little nut as well as the long one

The adjustment is most likely (however slight) there

Thank you.
I understood.
The long nut turns in the void. So we must pass the small nut below the fixing in order to adjust.

I just mentioned the drum shoe adjustment because too much free play at the drum shoes will cause excessive movement of the parking brake handle. Same thing also goes for excessive wear on the parking brake shoes.

oui, et c'est la première chose que j'ai faite.

 

[JohnnyC]

yes and that's the first thing I did.

Fixed it for you
