The adjuster turns 'in' to tighten and 'out' to loosen.

I would not use any wrench longer than 12 inches.

Edit to add: Quick brake adjustments on my cars became possible only after doing a lot of inspection/replacement/adjustment with all the other parts that aren't at the wheel.

This diagram helps me visualize the system. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/F...akes_35-36.jpg
