You'll need either a brake adjustment tool or a wrench (usually 9/16th) to rotate the nut which links to the slack adjuster. Depending on exactly what brake system you have, you may also need tools to either push in or pull out the mechanism which locks the slack adjuster in place. Rotate the slack adjuster clockwise until it locks all the way down, then rotate the wrench/brake adjustment tool counterclockwise two full turns to back the brakes off of the drum.
