h2 mountain bike? My h2 sut didn't come with hand brakes. Maybe only in the two wheel version.

You need to remove the rear brake caliper and remove the rotors. Its A drum in hat brake setup which simply means there is A small drum brake setup inside the rear brake rotor which has an adjuster. Often these fill up with mud and wear the shoes out prematurely. You are unable to visually inspect without removing the rotors. The rotors do just slide off but can be A real B**ch to get off.
