Emergency Brake Dragging

Emergency Brake Dragging
I have a 2001 F150 4x4 supercab with 150,000 miles.
I noticed that my emergency brake seemded to be dragging.
When I went to remove the disc, it would appear the the inside drum emergency brake is holding it on. I can move the disc on the hub, but it hangs. Looking into the access hole on the back of the plate, it appears not to be of any use as there doesn't appear to be a star adjuster.
Any advice on how to get this off without destroying the emergency brake assembly on the inside?
Thanks in advance.

It's not a Ford vehicle but the same basic setup. You turn the star wheel at the bottom, one direction forces them out and the other direction allows them to collapse toward the center making for a smaller diameter.

if your emergency brake is dragging, just pick it up and put it in the back of the box or something until you get a chance to duct tape it back on there. i find if i wind up a bunch of strands off my pretty little sisters head, it makes a nice snug rope that should hold the dang ol' thing on thar
