What is the right tool to adjust CF front drum brakes
« on: February 01, 2011, 09:22:25 PM »
Hi gents,
What is the right tool to adjust the front brakes? Its a weird square nut that my standard spanners slip off, don't wanna round it.

The same info for the rear brakes would be handy too.

thanks for any ideas,
-Stu

There is a special spanner for these

I think the bicycle spanner, it is a big thin spanner with square holes in the middle of it, I think they also fit, but can be awkward to get in.

If you use spanners, use the ring end, open end will slip

failing that, crc and vise grips
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

I got sick of messing around with them and welded wheel nuts on them, so much easier ever since.. ;D
