Great post, just a tip
Should your the handbrake cable require adjustment, after your happy with the clicks check both wheels spin freely when the handbrake is released :huh: one cable can stretch longer than the other causing an imbalance or even binding on one of the wheels, in the case of 6th Gen Hatch or Saloon or 7th Gen Saloon you will require a new cable.on the effected side or best replace both :mellow:
However in the case of 7th Gen Tourer you can adjust the parking brake shoes through the access hole on the disk and the adjuster is located bottom center, obviously the disk will need to be left in position to make the adjustment. The pictures below apply to a 8th Gen saloon or Tourer and as you can see the adjuster is located at almost top center.
Disk/ Rotor removed to give you an idea what your gonna be adjusting ^_^
