The 2001 Ford Explorer rear parking brake is separate from the rear disc brake that stop the vehicle. The rear rotors have a small drum in the inboard side.
the E-Brake is located inside the rear rotor. to properly adjust it you have to remove rear rotor and adjust and readjust to correct adjustment.
You can adjust the rear brakes with the rear brake adjustment bolt. The rear brakes should adjust automatically every time you back up and use the brake.
Back off the brake adjustment, or back off the e-brake adjustment, or the e-brake cables are stuck. No need to open bleeders.
