   it normally has the opposite effect and applies a lot of power to the back. you dont want much braking to the back anyway

   or the lever is stuck!
   
   if its free...
   
   jack up rear of the car. remove passenger rear wheel.
   
   wd40 on the spring unit.
   
   10mm spanner on the bolt.
   
   grip type plyers on the small spring.
   
   tighten for more at the back undo for more at the front.
   
   do it in half turns, taking the car for a drive each time till happy.
