Default Handbrake not releasing?

Hey guys, when my hand brake has been on for a while and i let it off i get a REALLY LOUD sceaming noise from my back right brake, if i drop the hand brake a few times it eventually stops....

is my handbrake not releasing properly? because if i pull the hand brake up a slight bit i can re-create the noise...

its simply over adjusted, if you have a 10mm long nose socket and ratchet you cn adjust it urself

slide driver seat all the way back
peel hand brake cover off hand brake (just slides forward and up)
there u see a little adjuster with a 10mm nut ... unwind until handbrake comes up about half way

done
