It is impossible for the adjuster to unscrew all the way out. The tapered head of the adjuster will bottom out and stop it from passing through the threaded hole. Maybe I'm not understanding how you are describing the problem.

If you have turned the adjuster to where the maximum amount of the threaded shaft is showing on the outside of the backing plate, then it would stand to reason that there is a minimum amount of pressure on the brake shoes. Maybe the adjuster is not the problem??
