Emergency brake adjustment, logistics

Hi there,

I need to adjust the emergency brake on my 85 W124 300D. I have searched and saw that it can be adjusted by removing a lug on right side rear wheel and turn the star shaped adjuster. Should this be done with the emergency brake on or off? I am very weary of jacking up my car with the brake off (it is a 5 speed manual). I do have wheel chocks which will be in place on the front wheels, but is that enough to do this (otherwise) simple job?
