Thank you, it's perfect now. No problems at all. My BMW has emergency brake now, and parking brake with little work..!

Just followed this on F20 114d from 2013, manual. You have to spin that gear upwards on rear left wheel and downwards on right one. Thanks for sharing!

Future note for my self this is for tightening the brake shoes.

Good video. Recently adjusted handbrake without touching this under handbrake lever. Just the adjusters on the rear. Everything is working fine

Thank you , saved me good bit of time not having to release the hand brake lock.😊

Thanks was just about to try and adjust the handbrake on BMW 3 series 2015- your explanation and having the a clear view of the handbrake is excellent, saved me lots of time discovering that there is no need to attempt to adjust on interior handbrake lever and to focus on adjustments at the rear hub. From "@grubasyk -tighten - spin that gear upwards on rear left wheel and downwards on right one" .

Yeah, good point about not needing to get to the part directly underneath the handbrake. I just saw one of the other videos you are talking about, and I was wondering why they said you would need to do that. I adjusted mine with zero problem without touching that bit.
