How easy is it to change the power steering belt and adjust the handbrake cable?

Belt is a bit of a fiddly time consuming one but its not hard, the tensioning is the hardest bit

Handbrake is adjusted underneath the exhaust heatshield, 3 11mm washer/bolts to take it off then two 13mm spanners to tighten the cable

would i need to remove the exhaust to adjust the brake cable?

also can some confirm that the front wiper blades are 18 and 20 inch?

No you don't have to take the exhaust off to get to the hand-brake cable, just take the 3 11mm bolts off the heat shield,


Then as Willy Lover sed, 2 13mm nuts, slacken the first one back and tighten the second one untill you feel comfortable with the tension, and then tighten first nut upto the second nut to make a lock

If this doesn't improve your handbrake effort.. let me know and i will guide you through adjusting you hand-brake from the caliper end. :D
