other way around

Depress brake pedal fully at least 5 times
Note: To adjust the play on the parking brake at the brake calliper or brake drum - ensure that each time the brake is activated, the brake pedal returns to the original position (fully relieved of stress). In vehicles with a drum brake the adjusting lever should no longer be heard to jump beforehand.

Pull parking brake lever 5 times to the stop and release again.

Pull on parking brake lever (1) to the 2nd notch

Turn adjusting nut on parking brake lever until the rear wheels can only be turned with difficulty
Note: The braking effect must be equal on both wheels.

Cheers Matt. We got the 264 in stock but just ordered the 278's. They don't look like 278 thru the wheel tho

Can any 1 confirm for me the size of the original discs (front) on 2001 vectra b, 2.2 Sri 150.
Really should get a workshop manual. Most I seen I think are 256mm approx but are they just upto 2.0? I seen some 288mm vented I guessing these are the ones I'm looking for.
I also know the peril of the front brake springs after painting calipers, Damn things

2.2s normally come with 288 on the front 🙂
