wouldn't it just be a lot easier and faster to just pull the drums and turn the adjusters? It should only take you like 15min start to finish.

Unfortunately I'm not physically able to jack the car up, remove the wheels, and remove the drums. Or that's what I would do! That's what happens when you get old!
