Has anyone actually succeeded doing this? I have a MY05 and my hand brake does not adjust this way. I had to turn the wheel in the rear hub itself to adjust it. I would realy love to see an actual DIY on this topic.

Yes. It's best to remove each rear wheel and follow the shoe wheel adjustment procedure (removing the wheel gives better access). The TIS instruction for the handbrake lever adjustment is confusing - I found that should not need adjustment if the shoe adjustment is set properly and the handbrake cables have not been damaged or replaced. The final check is to make sure the lever clicks produce the specified braking.
