ABSTRACT:
This brake adjustment tool is for adjusting air brakes of automotive vehicles, and is a dual purpose tool that enables one man to properly adjust such brakes. Primarily, it consists of an elongated handle or main body having an opening for receiving a socket that is received on the adjustment screws of slack adjusters of air brakes, and a striker block is provided opposite the socket, for being struck by a hammer to free the usually seized locking collar on the adjustment screws. A channel grip member is also provided on the opposite end of the tool for receiving the slack adjuster to apply sufficient leverage to pull the slack adjuster to move the piston rod of the brake air cylinder, so as to enable the user to measure the stroke of the piston rod.
