You have to pull off the rear wheels and remove the rubber plug in the face of the rotor cap. Under there is a little wheel you need to turn to move the pads out. The ebrake pads are in the drum, not the same as the disc pads.

There is also a cable adjust under the car... before it "y's" off to both rear wheels. That's where I adjusted mine...
