With Nissan trucks from the 1990's, you pull and release the e-brake handle several times. If everything is working in the rear brake drums (springs, actuators, adjusting stars) then the e-brake will be adjusted.
Sounds easy enough, but if things are seized up in the drum or cable, this method won't work.
