The same way you do on a Freightliner, Volvo, Sterling, International, etc. If you don't have the certification, it's illegal for you to do this. Your truck should have automatic slack adjusters... with the truck aired up, press the brake pedal all the way in a couple times. This will cause the automatics to adjust for you. That is all you can legally do as far as brake adjustment goes... anything else is up to a tech.

How many hours does it take to change the brakes on a 1993 kenworth?

As long as it takes. You didn't specify a model (remember, Kenworth makes Class 5 through Class 8 trucks), you didn't specify a brake system (S-cam air brakes, hydraulic brakes, hydraulic disc brakes, air disc brakes, air wedge brakes, or air piston brakes), and we don't know your level of technical experience.

Can you adjust the rear drum brakes on a 1999 Saturn LS?

Yes, of course you can adjust the rear drum brakes. They should be self adjusting. Every time you back up and apply the brakes they should adjust themselves. If that is not working, look for a small rubber plug on the back of the backing plate. Remove that plug and with a brake adjustment tool, you can adjust the brakes. Search Google for the proper procedure to adjust drum brakes.
