The adjuster is on the backing plate not the drum
your pics shows the dust cover still on. remove the dust cover then remove the spindel nut.

depending on the type of brakes you have the window For the star adjuster will either be on the top or bottom

sometimes rust will hold the drum on
I have some more pics here
