At the bottom accessed thru a slot in the backing plate. Usually the slot is visible but sometimes the original rubber cover is still present and will need to be pried off. Look at Joes third photo in his post above. You can see the star wheel at the bottom just on top of the spring which keeps the shoes together and the star wheel from turning by itself. You can use a flat blade screwdriver to turn it but the proper tool frequently called a brake spoon and available from almost any parts store is much easier to use.
