You say you're trying to adjust shoes out. Is that what you meant to say?

I use a thing screwdriver to push the adjuster out of the way and then retract the shoes all the way. I have used a larger screwdriver to move the star wheel in the past but a good brake adjusting tool works a lot better. I always have to think about which way to move the star wheel on this step when I do mine. As you know the adjuster lever moves the star wheel top down on the outside so you want to go top down on the inward side to retract the shoes.
