Any video will be of the car they are working on which wold kind of be generic in nature. On this vehicle you'll have to pull the rotors and calipers to gain access to parking brake. I have included pics of how to adjust but will be small as well as exploded view of parking brake.

Never heard of having to remove the entire axle. If you have rear disc brakes, the parking brake shoes are just regular drum brake shoes inside the rotors.

Welcome to 2CarPros.
How long was it on? Did you notice any smell? Also, what are you experiencing that is different. I need to know that so I can grasp what may have happened. Chances are you wore down the brake shoes (rear drum brakes), and now they need adjusted but other things may have occurred too.
Let me know.
Joe

It was on for probably 10-15 minutes while driving and then when I push down on the brakes it’s hard for me to stop it all the way you have to push really hard.

If I can jump in here it sounds like the rear shoes got cooked which makes them crystallize and unable to brake correctly. I would replace the rear shoes. here is a video to show you how:
https://youtu.be/r82BLijWuNQ
Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone when you get the brakes apart so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

I will when I get the chance. It’s hard because I don’t have a place to take everything off properly. But I’ll do my best for a image. Also, when I do drive the truck because I have to get around I ride with the e brake still on and it works but still have to push really hard to brake. I do not know how long it’s going to last until they go out.

Welcome back:
Is the parking brake still on? You mentioned above that you drive around with it still on. As Ken mentioned, that is a concern for a few different reasons.
Let us know.

What other possibilities do you think it could be then the rear shoe? I still have to drive with the e brake on and I have been doing so. I do not know what to do or who could even help me look at it. Also you can press down on the brakes all the way some times and it will just go all the way down and my truck will keep moving.

Welcome back:
If you have the E brake on all the time, there most likely isn't much left to the brake shoes. Since the brake pedal is going to the floor, first check the brake fluid level. If it isn't low, suspect a bad master cylinder. If it is very low or empty, it could still be the master cylinder, but also check for evidence of brake fluid leaking from the back of one of the wheels or anywhere under the vehicle. You will find the master cylinder and fluid reservoir under the hood mounted on the firewall, driver's side.
It's not my business, but I have to be honest with you. I'm concerned you are driving it this way. I would never let anyone in my family drive a car under those conditions, and now you are (indirectly) part of this family. Please remove the rear wheels and inspect the brakes to see what has happened. Also, check the fluid in the MC to make sure it isn't empty. I have a feeling the e brake is allowing the master cylinder to do less work and that is why it is helping. However, and I don't want to scare you, but if the parking brake is still working, then the brakes are getting extremely hot because it is always on. Under extreme conditions it could even cause a fire. I really don't want you to get hurt. And as Ken had mentioned earlier, the brakes need replaced at this point.
Now that you mentioned the brake pedal is going to the floor, take a look through these links:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/brake-pedal-goes-to-the-floor
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-brake-master-cylinder
Here is a link that explains how to replace rear brake shoes:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-replace-rear-brake-shoes-and-drums
Please understand that the two things I mentioned may not be the problem at all. You could have a leak in the system, a bad wheel cylinder, a rusted steel brake line, rubber line or a bad caliper. That is why I recommended that you check for leaks.

4. INSPECT BRAKE LINING AND DRUM FOR PROPER CONTACT
If the contact between the brake lining and drum is improper, repair the lining with a brake shoe grinder, or replace the brake shoe assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
NOTICE: Apply lithium soap base glycol grease and high temperature grease to the parts indicated by the arrows.
