Handbrake adjustment slot is so tiny !!!
Hiya, today i have changed the rear discs and pads on my bugeye. The job went smooth overall, although the hardest and most tedious part was winding back the handbrake shoe adjuster, space was very limited and the slot is not high enough to let the screwdriver tilt to the next tooth.

I use a very small Snap-on pry bar it has a slightly cranked end on it which make it a breeze to wind the adjuster back

I use a flat blade screw driver too. It's not a nice job but it's also not difficult, it's just fiddly.
