Default Proceedure for adjusting parking brake?

Anybody got one or can point me to one? Noticed doing brake pads yesterday one rear isn't grabbing as hard as the other. I know there are star adjusters, like old school drum brakes, but don't want to screw anything up going in uninformed! Thanks!

Thanks, and yikes! Wow... they really could have made this a whole lot easier. Next time I get the rears off I'll pull the rotors and do a "friction fit" adjust on the shoes, then back off a click and call it done!
