I have adjusted my e-brakes before.
Ok... here's how I did it.
1) remove rear tires/wheels
2) Look at the rotor carefully and you should see a hole covered by a little plastic plug.

The Plug will be a brownish color.
3) Take that plug out
4) Rotate the rotor so that the hole is at the 6-0-clock position as shown in the picture. ( it must be at 6 0 clock position to loosen or tighten the e brake shoe pads
5) Use a flat screw driver to loosen or tighten the e-brake

I have forgotten which way was to tighten and to loosen... you'll have to figure out that part.
