Can anyone link to a picture of the Center lock hub showing how you adjust the shoes for the handbrake ?

Mine seems to have over self adjusted itself and the near side is binding , giving an annoying tweet every revolution .

Adjusting the parking brake shoes
This includes: Checking the free play of the handbrake lever and adjusting the parking brake shoes.
The parking brake cable cannot be adjusted (automatic cable adjustment).
Checking free play of parking brake lever
The parking brake shoes must be adjusted if the parking brake lever can be pulled up by more than 5 teeth
through application of medium force without producing a braking effect.
Adjusting the parking brake shoes
1. Remove the rear wheels.
2. Undo the parking brake lever and push back the disc brake pads of the rear axle until the brake disc can
rotate freely.
3. The adjustment fixture can be twisted through the bores in the wheel mounting.
4.
Turn the brake disc in such a way that the adjustment fixture becomes
visible. Using a −screwdriver− inserted through the bore, move the
adjustment device until the wheel can no longer be turned. Next, turn
the adjustment fixture back again through 4 notches (release approx.
3 notches until the wheel can be turned freely, then release another 1
notch). Repeat the procedure on the other wheel. → Adjusting the

turn both wheels by hand with considerable difficulty.
6. Release the parking brake lever and check whether both wheels can be turned freely.

Thanks

it turned out to be a bit more involved , one of the retaining springs for the shoes had broken .

Car is now on the OPC ramp awaiting a new spring .
