There is a small access hole on the back side of both rear wheels. Inside there is an adjuster wheel for the brake shoes. Works similar to any drum brake adjustment.
how to adj. the parking brake on a 2006 t c scion?
You can adjust your parking brake by turning the parking brake adjustment bolt. The parking brake adjustment bolt is located on the parking brake pad assembly.
The parking brake is designed to automatically self-adjust every time it is applied. However, if the mechanism has become frozen or stuck, it can be adjusted manually by a mechanic or a knowledgeable amateur.

"on the emergency brake pedal on top theres a nut just tighten it till you feel adjustment" ?? The emergency/parking brake on the 2005 Nissan Frontier is not a foot pedal but a lever. I assume this is the same for the 2006 model. Is the adjustment similar or is there somewhere else the adjustment is made?
by pulling up on the emergency brake their should be an adjuster below the handle i think it is a 10mm nut
engage the parking brake , or shut the engine off
Screw the piston puck in clockwise. There is a tool for this (KN or KY) that is a box with little dowel pins to fit the slots in the caliper piston. What you are actually doing is resetting the parking brake. As the pads wear and you set the parking brake, each actuation of the parking brake foot lever ratchets the piston outward to componsate for pad wear.
