First off you need to get a manual. But for now... There is a access panel just behind the E-brake handle. use a screwdriver to pry it up and in there is a 12mm bolt. Just give it a couple of turns.

Re: (dabrat8614)

you most likely should take your drums off and check your shoes. There is a little adjustment think that you can click using a flathead screwdriver to make your shoes have better contact with your drums
