Hand brake will do around 12 clicks. However, you can lean on the car and it will roll. Looking at it today to find it's cable driven. Seem to have a cable run to the passenger side rear drum and then one from the passenger side to the drivers side drum.

Now, the passenger side brakes lock on but the drivers side spins loose with the hand brake on. Can't find and adjuster anywhere along the cable so not sure if there is meant to be one? Also, to get the drums off as i'm assuming the pads need adjusting, is it the screws at the back of the drum that need to come out as I don’t have the correct screwdriver or the silver plate which looks like will bend an need replacing it i attack it with a screwdriver.

Will be investing in a Haynes manual VERY soon
