You are talking about adjusting the e-brake lever. I am talking about adjusting the rear brakes to give yourself a brake pedal. The 2 are different.
What you would need to do is back off the e-brake until the lever on the caliper is as far back as it can go, then hit the brake pedal while pulling on the lever.
As stated, there is a ratchet mechanism in the caliper piston that is used to adjust the brake pedal feel. When you crank up the e-brake handle, you are bypassing this mechanism.
