Well if you can't find the tab, then you will have to force the star wheel. My guess is your trying to turn it the wrong way too making shoes even tighter. Figure out which way you need to go to loosen the brake, then just force the star adjuster to turn. That tab is not that hard to overcome. It will skip or bend out of the way so you can loosen the shoes. Then remove the drum and replace the tab. Or take it to a qualified person who can replace the linkage and tab. But for now, just force the star wheel to loosen the shoes. That tab will move out of the way.
