To expand the brake shoes (or tighten them) rotate the star wheel downwards, or upwards to loosen them. You can do this with a standard blade screwdriver, but a brake adjusting spoon like # W80630 is easier to use. www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Performance-Tool/W80630.html
Sorry for the confusion, because the adjustment or star wheel can only be turned one click at a time, AJ referred to them as turns which is technically correct in this case, but calling them clicks would have been less confusing for many folks.
I myself have been doing this for many years but to some people it might have been confusing, just wanted to help the average guy that was trying to do by himself that might have not been too familiar with the process. I myself appreciate videos like this as they have been very helpful over the years. Thank you for doing this.
Which direction do you turn the wheel to tighten vs loosen the break pad?

8 to 10 turns or 8 to 10 clicks?
He’s baiting.

Thanks for checking in, it's nice knowing folks are paying attention out there!
Yup came to the comments to see if it was clicks or turns. Thanks!
