Question drum brake / self adjuster wheel

Either I'm incompetent at searching or I couldn't find this info


I'm trying to change the brake shoes, and this is a first for me. Tell me if I'm missing a step. I took out the screws, put the e-brake down, even loosened the cable/nut up front under the center console. I still can't pull the drum off. Is there something I'm missing? I've seen mentioned of a star shaped self adjusting wheel that I can loosen myself... but can I access that from the outside? Can't find it... otherwise it's probably rusted on the (?) hub?

Any help would be appreciated

best way to remove the drum is to push it out, there are four (4) holes in the drum facing out from the car, you remove two to pop it off but then if it dont budge, like in your case, you use the other two holes for putting bolts in, as you screw in the bolts in those holes you push out the drum releasing it freely

hope it helps
