Yes,jack up the car,remove the wheels,locate the parking brake cable,look at where it goes behind the brake caliper,you will see an old fashioned tooth wheel adjuster.I forget what direction to pry it with a brake spoon or a screw driver so you will need experiment a bit.Tighten it up till the rotor wont spin and then back it up a bit like two or three clicks,repeat on the other side.
if the cable is stretched to far to get it adjusted new cables are at autohausaz.com   but the above should work fine.
