start adjusting the little nut under the handbreak shoe, very simple and quick
if that adjustment is not quite enough you have to adjust it on the rear axel

Slide the handbrake shoe up and you should see a 10mm IIRC nut tighten that up. As Evil chief says tighten it up on the rear axel. To do this loosen the nut under the shoe, then go to the rear axel and tighten. I believe it is on the drivers side of the axel near the disk to tighten.
