Theres a nut and bolt which you loosen then you'll have to tap the thing towards the back of the car slightly. Then tighten back up

I backed mine right off. I found it the only way to stop the back from twitching.

mines right down at the back and i have never touched the adjuster but i put 2.0 brakes on the front so it evens it out. never had a problem with the back end stepping out

Ah is there a bit of room to slacken it? I thought it had to be modified to be adjusted enough

I did mine when i got the car as i noticed the previous owner hadn't done it.
Now with a firm press on the pedal i can lock up the front wheels and go sliding down the road
