Adjust the small adjuster wheel beneath the hub, there are posts about this, many people have problems over tighting it.

or simply drive your car in reverse up to a few MPH and hit the brakes, the rear SHOULD self adjust as gm says they do. I know mine do.

Thats only if the adjuster is working correctly. If it is not lubed, or stuck it wont adjust.
