It is pretty unusual to have to "back off the adjuster" to remove a rear brake drum. Rear brake do not wear much (I have a 1998 E150 w/91K and original shoes/drums with lot of wear left). Usually a hammer (okay a large hammer) to the sides of the drum (do not try to hit the lip from the back) will "persuade" it to move.
Also backing off the star wheel means that the self adjusters have a lot of work to do to get things back where they were. I hope you back down your driveway every morning !
