Remove a lug bolt and using a flashlight rotate the wheel until you see the star shaped worm gear. Using a flat head screwdriver lever the gear until the brake shoes prevent you from spinning the wheel. Can't remember which way you have to lever the gear, so just fiddle with it. Once you do that it's somewhere between 6-8 clicks on my car to have the shoes loose enough that they don't contact the drum, but right enough that the hand brake is highly effective.
3. Replace and torque lug bolt, return hand brake spring to normal position. Test drive and test parking brake.
