I'm no expert on adjusting them but I did adjust the one on my 88 f-150 all that I did was loosen the nut on the adjusting screw and then turn the screw in a turn or so and tighten the nut back up. I know that you really don't want to adjust it to much because I heard that it can bust a gear or lock up on you driving down the road.

I never had any problem when I adjusted mine but like I said I only turned it like 1 turn. Hope that helps you in some way.
