The example in Loren's post covers the 996 series, 997 is the same procedure inside the rear brake rotors but without the cable adjustment on the handle, 997 hand brake cables are in fact not adjustable, you can leave it that way.

So basically the 997 is just adjusted via the rear discs through one of the bolt holes ?

Yes, there are brake shoes inside the hub.

Do you need to not have the handbrake applied when adjusting?

No, the hand brake should be fully released when adjusting. After proper adjustment the brakes should stop the wheel from spinning at 3 clicks of the handbrake.

I have got 7 clicks on my handbrake until it wont move.

So, basically just jack up, wheels off and make sure handbrake is released. Then maybe tighten 5 clicks each side and then apply handbrake?

Which was is tighten when you look at the wheel, is it clockwise?

Thanks Loren
