jack up the back end and pull off the tires. take off the regular brake calipers (2 bolts) and pads. remove the caliper bracket (2 bolts). slide off the rotor/drum (will probably come off hard). The parking brake shoe should slide straight up.
you dont adjust you replace brake shoes
To replace the rear parking brake shoes on a 2002 Buick Rendezvous, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the rear wheels. Next, remove the brake drum by taking off the retaining screws, if applicable, and sliding the drum off the hub. Disconnect the parking brake cable and remove the old shoes, noting their arrangement. Install the new shoes in the same configuration, reattach the parking brake cable, and reassemble the drum and wheels before lowering the vehicle.
Remove wheel, brake caliper, brake disc, parking brake shoes etc. Drive out broken stud, replace with new stud. Replace above in reverse order.
You don't. You replace the worn out rear break shoes. If that doesn't do it you need to replace the stretched E brake cable.
check the parking brake cables, any applied tension, and condition of the brake shoes
If you mean the brake itself, the parking brake lever pulls on the cables which attach to the rear brakes and manually tighten up the rear brake shoes. If the brake isn't working either a cable has broken or the problem is in the rear brakes.

Take it to a garage and ask them "Can you replace my brake shoes please"
on my 91 when i put new shoes on i adjusted the shoes out with adjuster until shoes touched drums and that also took care of my parking brake problem --- you may need rear brakes ???
Hi, First you remove the wheels, the calipers and rotors. Then you are gonna see the shoes behind the hub (the part where the wheel is bolt on). It is quite difficult to replace if you don't have much mechanic skills and tools.
Start with an inspection and adjustment of the parking brake shoes by removing the rear brake rotors. If the brake shoes are good and they are adjusted up and you still need more adjustment, make final adjustments on the brake cables under the drivers side of the vehicle.
My Explorer uses small parking brake shoes inside the back of the back rotor
