Parking brake/rear rotors V70-XC70 2000

I am trying to replace the rear rotors on my 2000 V70XC and am having a time getting the old rotors off. It appears that I am hanging up on the e-brake but I cannot seem to find the adjustment location for the expander nut. I have read in a few places that there is supposed to be a hole in the disc where I should find the aforementioned nut, but so far I am at a loss in actually finding it. Has anyone had similar issues?

If it makes a difference I have the ATE caliper setup with the corresponding rotor. I certainly made a difference in my pad/disc purchase.

Pre-thanks,
S.

    Use a three pronged puller to get the rotor off. V70-XC70 2000

    Rust makes the rotor stick to the hub. Once you release the e-brake the clearance is enough to slide the rotor off, but you must overcome the adhesion to the hub. BTDT. Before putting the new rotor on, clean rust with a brass
    wire brush attached to a drill. Apply copper anti-seize to hub to prevent it
    from happening again.

    If you haven't already, loosen the brake cables inside the center console first.

    The "star wheel" adjustment is hard to find inside the drum. I use a thin flat bladed screwdriver and a small flashlight, usually not at the same time. Try looking at 4 o'clock on the right side and 11 o'clock on the left side.

    Before you put the rotors back on, verify that the brake shoe holders are at 90 degrees or the shoes will fall off and rub against the drum.
