How to tighten the handbrake/ parking brakes

[francesconyc]

I noted that my parking brake is effective only when I fully pull it all the way up (didn't count how many clicks) but it seems a lot/ too much compared with my memory of previous cars I drove. also my light doesn't lit up when I pull the brake so while I'm there (I also need to replace the heater cables) I wonder it this ca be adjusted at the lever side or do I need to work on the wheels

this post seems to imply both but is not for 911, so I wonder if there is a similar guide for 911

thanks

Here is the procedure for the SC. Fairly straight forward, get a good flashlight with a tight beam to help find the sprockets.
