2001 Sentra rear brakes adjustment?

Here is the story. My rear brakes squeek when I let off of them. I took them off, sprayed them with brake cleaner, still does it. I bought new pads. When I compared the new pads with the old ones, they are the same size, indicating that the brakes on the back are fine. I decided to bleed the brakes. Did that. still do it. The emergency brake works fine, and is tight. I had an old jeep wrangler, and to adjust the rear brakes you removed the dust cover, stuck a screwdriver in there, and turned the "sprocket". Upon inspection, my car does not have the sprocket, so I can't figure out how to adjust them. I have tried all the tricks, back up, tap the brakes, no dice. Back up, pull and release the emergency brakes, no dice. The manual says to pull the emergency brakes while sitting a few times, and it will tighten the brakes, but no dice. I am at wits end, any help?
