Handbrake not working properly.

Changed brakes all round, put back together and all seems fine apart from the handbrake. When applied only the left side seems to lock up...

Was perfectly fine before and haven't altered anything else, any ideas?

Adjust it from behind the right hand wheel?

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

As you can probably tell I don't know a great deal about the mechanics of these cars but I am learning!
