Thank-you. 35 years with drums. Answered my question about brake inspection pull off areas in the mountains at the top of steep grades. Useless now. Check once in the morning and pray all day?
Bendix is great because they have a wear marker on the caliper itself. You can see half of it at the start of the video, 14 seconds in. It's a V shaped groove at the bottom of the view. There's also a mark on the caliper itself. As the pads wear out and the caliper is further extended the two grooves will line up. When they're lined up its time for replacement.
It’s self adjustment. Behind the brake caliper it has a rubber cap . You remove that and inside it has a bolt , it’s more like a hex bolt but you can use a 9mm socket if I’m not mistaken. But that is just to loose and tighten back the brake pads .

Enjoyed this video however there is an inspection cover . Can I safely remove the Inspection cover?
How do you adjust them?
