Good afternoon all.

My handbrake has been quite stiff the last few days, on applying.

No rear sticking calipers.

Can it be adjusted/slackened slightly?

Any advice welcome.

Not sure on the suberb but on my octavia the handbrake mechanism on caliper was stiff and making it difficult to pull handbrake on. No sticking calipers but only one side was working properly. It could also be a failing handbrake cable thats got corosion inside and seizing. Get someone to pull handbrake and make sure the rear calipers mechanism and cables are moving and returning freely. You can adjust the handbrake to take up stretching etc but doubt it would help with the stiffness.
