How do you adjust a slack adjuster on an international?
With the brakes released and either the wheels chocked or the trailer brakes set, you rotate the nut on the slack adjuster until the brake shoes are tight against the drum. Then you back it off 1/4 to 1/2 turn. What tools you need specifically depend on which slack adjuster you have... you could have Bendix, Haldex,, or Wabco Meritor slack adjusters.
What is the difference between manual and automatic slack adjusters?

How do you adjust front brakes on frieghtliner flatbed truck?
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.

How do you adjust automatic slack adjusters Freightliner Chassis 36' motorhome Front brakes get hot and smoke while back brakes stay relatively cool?
the correct way to adjust automatic slack adjusters is to raise the wheel off the ground so it will spin. determine which slack adjuster you have,they vary from manufacture to manufacture, and get the appropriate tool. tighten the slack adjuster, the movement of the tool should be fairly smooth and easy if it is hard and clicks then you are going the wrong way. so tighten the slack until it stops and the brakes are in contact with the drum. make sure the wheel does not spin. now back the slack adjuster off, this is where it should be hard and clicking. back it off a quarter turn and see if the wheel spins freely with no drag. if it does not then back off the slack in small increments until the wheel spins freely with no drag. if you are having a problem with the brakes loosing adjustment then you need to have it inspected and find the root cause of the problem.this is for informational purposes only, i do not advise anyone who has not been trained in brake operation to perform this task, it should only be done by a ase certified mechanic. Do you have disc or drum brakes? Do they only get hot when you use them, or do they get hot when just driving?
How do you adjust the chain on your 1999 Honda trx 300 ex?
As far as adjusting the chain goes, to the right of the rear sprocket there will be a large concentric adjuster with slots in it. You'll have to loosen the two 6mm Allen head bolts on the swingarm just to the right of the adjuster. Then use a small wrench [turned sideways] and slip it in the slots of the concentric adjuster. If you push it forward, the chain gets loose. If you pull it back, the chain gets tight. You want to have about about 1 1/2" of play [up and down slack] in it when finished. Then tighten the Allen head bolts and you're ready to go !!

The problem with the rear brakes locking up may be the self adjusting screws themselves. They should only tighten when reversing the car and hitting the brakes, putting the pressure on the drums in back instead of the rotors in front.
