Or do I somehow remove the metal plug? But it seemed pretty permanent when I poked at it.
There should be a hole in the rotor that lines up with the hole in your hub. If its not lined up, pull it off and line it up. You should then be able to adjust old school way with a flathead. What gets me that they should auto adjust on reverse. the only time I ever had to touch mine was when I replaced the rear rotors. I had to back the ebrake adjuster off to be able to pull the rotor.
