Help with handbrake

Can anyone offer advice how to tighten the handbrake cables? I believe there is a nut under the brake handle, but I am not positive. Thanks.

There is a nut right inder the hand brake handle. Don't remember if you can only remove the boot, but it will be accessible from there.

Yea,

There is a adjustment nut right under the handle. Its connected to the cable that goes back to the mount that holds the front portion of both e-brake cables.

See the bump under the part # 1
