This is taken from ALLDATA 7.60 Copyright 2003 (I think that makes this legal now)
Iv seen people explain how to do this by rolling backwards, so I thought Id post the right way to do it. Sorry my scanner is not operational, but its self explainitory.
1. Pull the parking brake lever with 196 N (20.0 kgf, 44.1 lbs.) of force to fully apply the parking brake. The parking brake lever should be locked within the specified number of clicks.
Lever locked clicks: 6-7
2. Adjust the parking brake if the lever clicks are not within the specification.
Adjustment
NOTE: After servicing the rear brake shoes, loosen the parking brake adjusting nut, start the engine, and press the brake pedal several times to set the self-adjusting brake before adjusting the parking brake.
1. Block the front wheels, then raise the rear of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
2. Remove the console cover(where the rear cup holder is).
3. Pull the parking brake lever up one click.
4. Tighten the adjusting nut(it should be in the upper left quadrant of where you took the console cover off of) until the parking brakes drag slightly when the rear wheels are turned.
5. Release the parking brake lever fully, and check that the parking brakes so not drag when the rear wheels are turned. Readjust if necessary.
6. Make sure the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
7. Reinstall the console cover.
