How do you adjust parking brake on a 2002 Explorer?
the emergency brakes are drum type brakes inside the rear brake disk on each wheel.if you know how o adjust drum brakes it is the same adjustment for emergency brake on this vehicle. on the back of the drum there is a small rubber cap. remove this cap and with a flat screwdriver or adjuster tool, you turn the the serated wheel inside the brake drum to adjust the brake shoes out till nearly touching the brake drum it is best to do this with the rear wheels jacked up off the ground, so you can spin the wheel while adjusting. by spinning wheel you will feel when brake shoe is starting to slow wheel and you will then know to stop adjusting. do this on both wheels if you over adjust you will burn brakes out and have to replace brake shoes. this is a pain as you have to remove the disk brake caliper and rotoar to get at the emergency brake

It has a superior design that features a greater braking force.
Why do you use front disc and rear drum brakes?
Front brakes provide about 70% of stopping force. Disc brakes have an advantage over drum brakes in that they can provide more stopping force without overheating (and thus loosing their stopping efficiency). I believe drum brake units are less costly to manufacture than disc brakes, so using them on the rear also saves manufacturing costs.

The front disc brakes are self adjusting. The rear shoes should be adjusted by taking the drum off and adjusting the quadrant against the spring tension. Then reposition it until the drum just fits over the shoes. If your pedal goes down too far it is because the rear drums need adjusting up.
Why are disc brakes more powerful than drum brakes?
Simply a question of Force distributed over a much smaller area in the case of disk brakes (or higher pressure)

yo have to grease your 6 high spots on the edge of the backing plate, and then you need to bring your shoes in so you can clear the drum over them, to re adjust your shoes there is a star adjuster at the bottm of both shoes, make sure that you have your shoes just barely drag the drum because if you have to much clearence you will have a soft brake pedal
