HandBrake - 5000 CSTQW

[Swann, Benjamin R. (BSWANN)]

The handbrake on my '87 5000 cstqw has been marginal, and only holding on a
relatively flat surface.  I cleaned the rotors with some brakecleen awhile
back and that helped for awhile.

I finally got around to installing new rotors and pads, even though the old
ones weren't all that worn. 

Now I find I have virtually no handbrake at all.  It seems there is plenty
of tension in the handbrake cable, and I'm wondering if there is some kind
of adjustment(not adding tension to the main cable) I must make to get the
handbrake to work properly.  The Bently wasn't entirely clear, and suggested
only having to loosten (not tighten) some adjusting cog at the calipers if
the pads were changed.

I didn't take a long hard look at the hardware as I didn't expect a problem,
but the cables, etc. seemed to be just fine - no rust etc.

Any suggestions for a quick fix?

Thanks,
