There should be an inspection hole on the inside of the assembly (covered by a small rubber insert).
You can remove it and stick a screwdriver in to ratchet the adjusting screw.
This will pull the pads in. There should be two threaded holes in the drums to thread bolts into to help pull the drums off.
