How to remove the brake drum in a 1988 mazda 626?

haynes repair manual says remove a plug in the back plate but there is no plugHow to remove the brake drum in a 1988 mazda 626?
it's a rubber plug, the idea is to get to the star adjuster wheel and back it down so the shoes will release to a point where you can remove the drum without tearing the entire assembly apart.

It there is no rubber plug, fine, there'll be an opening about 2" wide and 1/4" high.

You'll need 2 screwdrivers, one to move the adjuster wheel, the other to push the adjuster arm away.

and.. have lots of patience.
