x2-3. Yep you've got to loosen the adjuster at 6 o'clock position. After that all u can do is pry pull whatever to get em off. Then get groove machined off drum and make a slot ( if not already there) as suggested for future adjustment to "star" wheel. That's about all u can do as far as I know. There is a special tool with an angle on it to help with turning the adjuster. But it's just a flat screwdriver type tool with a bend in it. Just get the hole in drum at 6 o'clock position and try to stick a straight screwdriver in it to hit/turn adjuster. Just pry one way up or down till u find it is loosening adjuster and not tightening it. Some adjusters are rusted and will not turn. Back to prying, cussing/praying is about all u can do.
