Is the parking brake on the '99 Explorer XLT 4 wheel disc self adjusting?

I think the '99 is like my '98, if so the answer is yes. The rear disk has a drum style brake system inside the back side of the rotor for the parking brake. There is a self adjuster, and a hole for the adjusting tool to go through to 'adjust' (usually just to loosen the pads so you can remove the rotor) the pads, similar to a standard drum brake.
