brake adjustment

Has it been moveable before? Try backing it off rather than tightening . Try some penetrant and then moving it back and forth. If you can get some movement you should feel the detent of the actuating wedge shafts a-2042.
You may have to remove the drum and see what’s going on . You will have to remove the e brake plate to get the rear shoes out and assess for removal and repair.
Typically they will move with lubricant and a big enough brake wrench .

release completely the actuation rod. If there is too much tension o the rod, this might also press the plates on the drum and does not allow to release the adjustment.
