Nissan Micra 1998 - Car rolls on slopes when Handbrake on - westberry

Hi

Car failed NCT on back brakes.

Replaced brake cable on drivers side as was not working. Replaced both wheel cylinders as both were leaking also replaced brake shoes on both sides as drivers side needed replacing. Bleeded brakes and brakes seem okay when using brake pedal but car rolls back on slopes when hand brake is on. I adjusted handbrake to between 6-8 clicks as stated in Haynes book it seem to help but still rolls slowly.

Do I need to adjust the shoes using the self adjuster.

I would be grateful of any advice.

Patrick

ye adjust the self adjuster before you put the drum back on and give it a rub with rough sand paper before you put it on
