Bingo - had to cut out the center of the drum. I would have tried getting the adjuster from the slot in the back, if it weren't for the fact that the lower shock absorber mount sits practically in FRONT of the darn hole. To make matters more complicated, the swingarm sits directly behind the shock mount, ensuring that
nothing will ever get back there other than the adjuster tool itself.
I found myself using a spoke to push the adjuster catch back; worked surprisingly well.

There's a 1988 Mark VII LSC I've been eying with a $600 price tag - interior is shot, 'lectric seats kinda work, sunroof leaks, electric windows work on driver's side only, rear airbag shocks are mostly shot. The 5.0 HO runs pretty darn well, though.
With exception to the air shocks, those aren't bad machines. Not my style, but quite decent. The Mark VIII's that followed though - now
there's a disaster.

Interesting, that I didn't know. Do they stop like Campy sidepulls?
