its either M10 or M8 cant remember as i have a selection on my toolbox that i use till i find the correct 1,get the bolt started in the hole & as ur winding it in clout the drum with a hammer to jarr it so    it will become loose,do this on the oposite side from the bolt,if it still wont shify wind the adjusters back till they reach there stops & reapeat the above method

Have you wound the adjusters off?

If there is a worn drum, the lip will grab on the shoe

Just slacken off and pump the brake to centalise the shoes
