If the '95 is the same as the '96 look for small (`1") oval rubber plugs on the inside bottom of your rear axle. If you have these you may be in luck.
Jack up the rear and put the axle on jackstands.
Release the e-brake and loosen the adjustment nuts on the e-brake handle stem until there is alot of slack.
Use a regular screwdriver to rotate the toothed sprockets inside the rubber plug holes in an upward direction (ie place the screwdriver head at the bottom and pry the handle downwards driving the head upwards).
Continue this until you can no longer turn the rear wheel (ie the e-brake is engaged).
Back off the toothed sproket 1-3 turns until the wheel moves relatively smoothly.
Repeat for the other wheel then tighten the adjustment nuts on the e-brake handle stem until it takes about six "clicks" to engage the e-brake.
Best,
