It's a standard drums on the rearto remove the drums you'll need 2 bolts can't think of the size but it's in the downloads, your adjusters will need adjusting but make sure the drums not binding:thumb2you will prob find the h/brake alot better but if it needs adjusting pull the flsp under the h/brake out of your way & use a socket & extension & you'll be able to get to the adjuster bolt

If it has you'll be on your own as it will be a mod. All Terrano 2's have rear drums. I think there may be some R3Ms with rear disks but that may be wrong just a nagging thing in the back of my head.

If the handle is actually being pulled up there is something amiss, like the cable is loose and catching somewhere or is badly in need of adjustment and the handle is bouncing on bumps onto the ratchet (have seen that on other cars) - what exactly is happening.

hi silly me it has got shoes and sometimes when i stop
then go to move falward you can feel the back brakes
come on gear stick does not move but if you try it it is
solid what should i look for as i will be looking at it this
weekend.

id take the hubs off and give them a service , clean with sand paper and brake cleaner. check adjusters and suitable lube where necessary.

also check cable runs free when hubs off
