It should only turn one way if it's working. Looking at it from the rear of the truck, I'm not 100% sure but I think you would want to turn the right side adjuster counter clock wise, the drivers side clockwise.

If you can't remember just do as I do and look at the threads with a flashlight.

First off they are marked Left (LH) and right (RH)

install them as you are looking at the truck from the REAR.

If I remember correctly If you turn them UPwards thru the hole you are loosening the shoes.

You'll know though because turning the adjuster one direction is harder than the going the other
