Hopefully a 120 series owner can elaborate, but on my 90 series there is an adjusting cog/screw that is turned with a flat head screw driver through a small hole in the brake disc/drum to adjust the shoes. Tightening the cable is done with a 10mm nut in the cabin and by adjusting the bell cranks behind the brake discs.
Again, this for a 90 series Prado. 120's could be different, but I imagine the basic steps apply.[B]Declan[/B]: [SIZE=1]1997 GXL 4.5 Auto 80 series on [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]LPG[/COLOR][/B], ARB bullbar, 2" OME lift, 32" MTZ, GME UHF, rear ARB locker, Kaymar spare wheel carrier[/SIZE]

The 120 is exactly as Declan says.
At each rear wheel, spin the rotor around until the little inspection hole is at the bottom and line it up with the hole in the hub (between the axle studs). You wont really be able to see what your doing, but will be able to feel the star wheel spin slighly when adjusting with a small flat head screwdriver.
Also under the handbrake itself is another adjusting wheel that adjusts the tension on each handbrake cable to the left/right wheels together.[b]Silver 2008 D4D Auto GXL[/b]
