Have you tried to loosen the adjuster wheel inside the drum. You get to it by pulling off a rubber plug under the axle tube.

get a flash light and two skinny screw drivers one need to puch the automatic adjuster back away from the adjuster wheel while the other turns the adjuster wheel in so the brakes come in off the drum

after you remove the rear plug use one screw driver to puch the adjuster lever off the wheel the red line ,use the other screw driver to turn the adjuster wheel the black arrow, the wheel will turn both way you need to go the way that makes it looser
