Could someone please tell me how to adjust the rear parking brakes on a Sprinter. I have replaced the cables, and moved the yoke to tnsion the cable but it does not have enough adjustment to apply the park brake.
I am assuming there is an adjuster in the caliper assembly, or spmeone suggested I need to drive backwards and apply the handbrake.

Any help would be much appreciated.

remove one bolt from each hub, turn the wheel with a torch shining inside untill you see the adjustment wheel, wind the wheel up until it bites then back off two turns!!

The vehicle is a dual wheel Sprinter. The hub has studs that are not easily removable. Is there a some way of getting to the adjuster without major dissassembly?
