Could be big trouble! I have adjusted mine by removing an access panel that is just in front of the rear brakes/differential to gain access to the threaded adjuster thingy. However, it only moderately helped!!! The problem, typically, is that the emergency brake calipers themselves need to adjusted to move the brake pads closer to the disc rotor. The cable adjustment only provides a limited amount of travel, which in your case MAY be "just enough", for awhile, until the calipers need to be adjusted as well. Without the access panel (ERA replica) I don't see how in the world you could gain access to the inner adjustment thingy. The one at the end of the cable MAY work a little bit, but you really need to get to the main one near the differential area.

I am SO frustrated trying to get them adjusted. I've maxed out all possible cable and linkage adjustments and it has only helped a little bit. I see no freakin' way in hell to get the e-brake calipers adjusted short of dropping the entire rear end out.
