Normally, adjusting rear shoes until they 'just' scrape the drums will correct handbrake. Easier to adjust them up if rear wheel is removed (easier access). Its rare you ever have to play with handbrake cables directly - just adjust rear shoes.

If you're unlucky, they may not budge in which case you'll need to remove rear drums and regrease star wheels until they're free again. Bit tight for time though!
