It should have auto adjusters inside the drums. these are prone to going and need the drums removing to replace them.

Normally to adjust the number of clicks on the handbrake, you remove the trim from between the seats (1 torx screw) and then there is the adjuster nut. just tighten it to the desired level, not to tight though as your brakes will bind when driving.

If the cables are stretched and need replacing, it's drums off and centre trim off and you should be able to work it out from there. If you can't, then you really shouldn't be doing the job in the first place.
