emergency brake adjustment

My 2003 Exp. EB failed state inspection due to the emergency brake. It works, just not to the inspector's liking. The service manual seems to indicate that the only adjustment is at the brake shoe (on older cars I adjusted it using a spoon inserted through an access plug). It does not indicate whether the wheel and rotor must be removed to access it. Has anyone on here ever adjusted the emergency brake?

Yeah, and good luck getting to the adjusters if your's has the control arm covering the adjuster slot.

It does and will not be adjusted until the next major brake job when the rotors will be removed for turning...
