Handbrake

Looks like i've popped a pin on the handbrake, so the discs are comming off to check/reseat. Only thing is i cant remember the way the adjuster wheels go once the hub is back on. Is it the drivers side the wheel gets flicked up and over and the passenger side down and under or the other way round

Well i got the discs off with some effort, calipre bolts on good and proper, the shoes are as they should but only the drivers side was working as it should. Passenger side was only just touching the disc when handbrake was applied. Turns out the adjuster has completly seized. So off to good old Vaux for replacement. Now have to wait until Friday to pick them up
