84 model Hilux (ln65) handbrake

Hi All

I'm having a bit of trouble with my handbrake at the moment. Everything seems ok with the mechanism, but it just doesn't seem to move enough to engage fully. Even by pulling on the lever at the backing plate doesn't put much pressure on the shoes.

The shoes have about 3mm left on them, so I don't think they're worn out.

Any suggestions???

Thanks

Manually adjust the shoes tighter - don't rely on the automatic adjuster after 23 years it is rusty and dirty.
