"it says that I can ajust the drum by lining up the hole in the drum with a bolt."
In older 240s there was a star wheel that you could access through the hole and adjust with a screwdriver. The wheel was later removed and all adjustments are done at the handbrake. I forget where the wheel is positioned but probably around TDC.

If the caliper brake pads aren't touching the rotor but you are still getting resistance, you may need to remove the rotor to see what's going on. If you hadn't been using your handbrake, things may be seized up from first use. Drum brake pads have a tendency to rust off their shoes and jam.
