You should make sure you have plenty of slack in the handbrake cable and use the little worm gear adjuster on the back of the drum brakes to make the adjustment. Then take out any excess cable length with the tensioner on the side of the handbrake. Leave it with about 5-7 clicks of movement. If you hold the button in and pull on the handbrake you can get an idea where the handbrake handle will be when the hanbrake startds to bite. Sometimes you can get a closer adjustment after you have slid the drums back on. If the drums are worn, there will be a lip aroundthe inside edged where the pads don't reach. If you don't have a lip then what you have done sounds about right. Not unusual to have dust come out when you hit the drums with a hammer. I use a long-bristled paint brush to nrush a lot of the excess dust out of the brakes when I clean them up. Also chak for any dampness around the brake slave cylinders as this could indicate a problem inthe making. [Report message to a moderator]
