as title! Is it easy enough?
My handbrake is coming up like 5 clicks before holding the car on a 30 degree incline on my dads driveway. Dont think I need new rear discs/pads as they were done 15k ago and surely they dont need doing that often!

Handbrake cables are under the exhaust shied centre section iirc. A couple of 13mm nuts on an adjuster.

So you have to jack it up then? Or on ramps?

As webby says and yes you do have to get the car up in the air and watch out for the shield bolts they snap easily mate.
