How do I adust the emergency brake - 2004 Ford Escape

Wor for Explorers... parking brake adjustment instructions:

Turn off air suspension if you have it.
Block front wheels.
Make sure parking brake is released fully.
Crank engine, place tranny in 2wd mode, shift to neutral. Turn off engine.
Jack up vehicle until both wheels are off ground, support by jack stands.
Under vehicle remove 1" long rubber plug from bottom of brake backing plate under axle.
Insert short, flat blade screw driver to engage grooves in star wheel of adjuster.
Turn star wheel upward with screw driver tip until vehicle wheel will not rotate by hand even slightly.
Back off (turn star wheel down) five or six screw driver swings.
If Wheel soes not not rotate by hand, back off more, one swing at a time. When wheel moves. Replace rubber plug and do same on other side.
Check parking brake travel. It should be much improved.

Hope this helps.
