Hi, John. The adjuster does turn in 90-deg increments, and each increment spreads the shoes a little more. The gubbins inside consist of a pyramidal end on a screw thread. As the screw advances, the shoes are moved further out. But each 90-deg increment includes a large outward movement, followed by the next stable position of the screw. Did that make sense?
Dunno about the bracket question.
