2.4 Rear Brake Rotor Removal - 15 inch wheels V70-XC70 2003

I'm having the common problem of removing my rear brake rotors on my 2003 V70 2.4L.

Seems that there must be a rust ridge around the inside of the rotor which is hanging up the rotor on the emergency / parking brake shoes. The rotor itself is free and easy to move off the hub, but it is hanging up on the parking brake shoes.

If I hit it with a hammer in the area where the caliper was mounted, the rotor cocks askew, and binds tightly. I have no access anywhere else to hit it, as the dust guard prevents access to the back of the rotor.

I've read a lot about an adjuster star wheel accessible through the lug holes of the rotor, but I can see nothing inside these holes? Does my car have this set up?

Do I need to back off on the parking brake cable adjustment inside the car? If so, can anyone give me some guidance on how this is done on my car?
