The part that you adjust is in the first pic. Not inside the wheel. The manual didn't suggest adjusting the E-brake shoes. If you pull off the rotor and check them they may need replacing or the mechanism may need cleaning.JMO

That last pic might be the rear axle vent, I can't tell.

The rotors are probably still good, but you need to pull them off to check the e-brake shoes and mechanism inside the rotor. The inner surface of the rotor is the drum for the e-brake.
