My Legacy estate (wagon) has discs all round. The handbrake is not as effective as it was, unless you pull hard on the lever.

 

I need to have a look & give it some T. L.C., Is it a drum inside the disc?? if so are there any pics showing the setup.

 

Thanks a lot to all you moderators who give up your time to help the rest of us.

There is a drum inside the rear disc. The parking brake has its own shoes, and is adjustable. the adustment requires removing the center console.

There is also an adjustment on the back of the backing plate. Just pop out the rubber piece and use a flat bladed screwdriver and LOTS of light. I believe UP makes things tighter.

 

Here's a thread describing both procedures:

I also found a blow-up of the rear brakes:

Good luck.

Looking at the photo of the disc and drum, it seems that it will just slide off after removing the rear wheel. Time to have a look at the job in the metal .

 

Thanks for the useful info ,
