Its a bit tricky to explain really.
On mine, its on the nearside/passenger side (RHD version) and just forward of the rear axle, up towards the floorpan.
I found I had to just unclip one part of a heatshield, but not necessary to remove any.
The adjustment knob is plastic and red in colour.
Not sure if all models are exactly the same

I dont know if they are the same or not

Yes the moon-shaped thing and cables are therejust behind the gearbox somewhere, but for just an adjustment it s not necessary to go there... you just do it at the adjuster near the back.

To Highlander. Its a post -95 i think as we dont use "granada" in sweden.
To Paul
the only tinh that shows under my car is the exhaust pipes and so on, and plenty of heatshields, the only part i see of the cables is when they leave the rear axel.
i will take some picures to show how it looks under my car,

If you follow the handbrake cable from the O/S rear wheel up into the floorpan recess behind the fuel tank, you should find the adjuster.

Found it ok then? Was I right?
Hope you didn't have to dismantle too much to get at it.

Yes Paul, you where right, they where placed just over and backwards the two silencerparts as shown in pic3 (Backwards)
So now i have trimmed the handbrake (in -10 degrees Cold) so i hope it will work
Best Regards

Looking at these excellent photos what with the exhaust and the heat shielding , it's easy to see how getting any access to the propshaft is a real pain in the ****.
Makes you pine for the easiness of a Front Wheel Drive set up , but not for long
