I do definitely wish I'd left them alone though i will say, I only did them because I was replacing the rear discs and pads, I should have left the handbrake for two reasons

A) would have known if there was any difference caused by non-oem discs (drum diameter)

And b) if they did work albeit still on about 6 clicks as per original it would have saved time and effort and I wouldn't have even questioned it

I think I was spurred on by horror stories about delamination but there was plenty of meat left on the shoes for whatever that's worth
