Parking Brake Adjustment Procedure.

I have a 2004 X5 (3.0L) with 125k miles. I just replaced pads/rotors all around, and changed parking brake shoes also.

I barely adjusted the adjuster nut, I was worried about drag, and they seemed to be grabbing when I applied the handle. In reality they aren't working that well, and need adjustment.

Questions:
1) How do you get at the adjuster nut without taking off disc/drum?
2) How do you (carefully) remove the parking brake lever boot?
3) What is the proper procedure for parking brake performance?

Thanks!
-Chris
