Default E-Brake Pads

I currently do not have E-brakes due to no pads left. I'm looking for either a write up or video showing how to change them on a ZJ. I have disc brakes all around. YouTube didn't have much to help and Facebook groups are about the same.

IDK how much you know about your ZJ, but the e-brakes are inside the rear rotors and look and act the same as normal drum brakes. If the last owner has removed them and all the hardware, that can be a problem. I ALSO couldn't find much on the actual parts or a video, but my mechanic friend installed all new parts for me. It's difficult because everything is behind the axle flange.

That's a bummer to hear...thanks.
