Steering Box

When adjusting my steering box, you know that bolt and hex head thingy on the steering box.
How much do I turn it, the hex head once I break the bolt loose? To take out the play in my steering wheel?

About how many turns is to much, how many turns have you guys done yours so I can get an idea?
