E-brake adjustment?
#2
The rear drums are self adjusting anytime you stop in reverse. But if you've been abusing them, it might be time for some maintenance.
BTW, the rear brakes are more than just your "e brake", they also help you stop normally...

I would do close examination of rear pads for minimum thickness as called out by SilverBullet. Establish whether or not you need new pads, then based on that adjust the parking brake cable if necessary.

I've heard that the e-brake is actually a drum brake inside the disc brakes, because hydraulic brakes (the disc'*) can't be locked up long term, they tend to fade with time. (i.e. if the parking brake is set for days....)
