A brake adjustment indicator adapted to be mounted to a mounting bracket which supports a brake air chamber on a surface of the mounting bracket opposite the brake air chamber with the brake air chamber having a rod extending therethrough with one end of the rod adjacent the surface and connected by a clevis pin to a brake arm. The brake adjustment indicator comprises a bracket having an elongated body portion and having on one end thereof a base plate positioned generally at right angle to the base portion. The base portion is adapted to be mounted onto the mounting plate. The elongated body portion has an elongated, continuous slot therethrough, which slot is generally parallel to the rod when the base plate is mounted to the mounting plate. The brake adjustment indicator also comprises a pointer adapted to be adjustably mounted in the slot of the body portion. The pointer is mounted in the slot and is in a horizontal plane which is a predetermined distance from the clevis pin in a direction opposite the air chamber when the clevis pin is in its normal, rest position.
