You turn the star wheel through the little hole in the back of the backing plate. There is a little rubber plug you take out then turn it til its tight but not rubbing. O and your brake pas have nothing to do with the e-brake. They are shoes inside the rotor.

The rear brakes themselves aren't even self-adjusting? Sheesh, my '85 T-bird even has that.
