It depends how far out of adjustment it is. There should be a nut on a long
threaded bolt at the at the base of the brake lever that can be used for
relatively small adjustments. If there is not enough adjustment there, then
you will have to pull the rear wheels and do it there.

Yes. However, if you have drum brakes in the rear, a loose parking brake is
usually a sign that the rear brakes need to be adjusted.
