Now the adjustment of the caliper is very similar to a slack adjuster. You turn the adjuster clockwise till snug and back off half a turn. The main difference is most Bendix calipers you need to use the shear adapter because what looks like an E-Torx head is actually an 11 point designed to only fit the shear adapter. So people will sometimes round them off where they won't adjust. If you are turning the adjuster and it won't adjust, sounds like it could be time for a new caliper.
