Can this be adjusted from just the handbrake itself, or do I need to get to the adjustment at the drum? Also, does the leather armrest surrounding the lever at the center console just pop off by pulling up on it, or is it screwed down. Thanks.

Not sure about the brakes dragging, but the leather armrest just pulls up and off. Lift up on the rear of it and pull up and forward. It helps if you have the e-brake handle up a little as the boot it attached to it. That is the easy part. Good luck.
