Kinda depends. I recently had the brakes all done on our 96 EB AWD...four wheel disc. The emergency brake works off a small drum brake just inboard of the rear discs.

My ebrake was not working and I thought it might just need adjusting. Reality is that the insides of these little drum brakes historically deteriorate and fall apart. I stopped by the shop to take a look and sure enough the insides were a mess. I have researched and learned that this is very common thing to happen.

Just something to consider since you might have more to do than just an ebrake adjustment.
