do you mean that the e brake is a drive shaft brake? as in if you were to reverse brake shoes and wrapped them around the drive shaft? if so i think its called a clutch brake??? anyway thier should be a bolt on the top or bottom that has a spring over the bolt to keep it open. if i remember right you tighten the bolt to close the clearance between the friction material and the drive shaft.

Cheers!
