Default Tightening Handbrake

Can some one please tell me which way to click the wheel on the drum to tighten the handbrake. I tried a good few clicks up and down on saturday but didnt make any difference on the drivers side.
Thanks

It's better to adjust it through handbrake directly thus you adjust the same left-right drums, there are two bolts under the plastic trim where the handbrake is - just tighten them a bit, of course this means you have to take off the plastic cover.

I was going to do that but didnt want to remove all the plastic in the middle.
One side is more biased than the other - so i would need to get them both even before i tighten the cable
thanks for your reply Jim
