ADJUSTING WING NUTS
Difficulty is often experienced in adjusting wing nuts on brake rods, particularly when the threads have become rusted. These nuts can be turned easily if a simple tool is constructed as follows: Cut a wide slot down the end of a piece of steel tubing and drill a hole through the other end. The brake rod fits down the tube and the wings of the nut are gripped in the slot. The rod can be turned by slipping in a tommy-bar through the hole at the other end. The tool exerts an even pressure, and minimises the danger of a fractured nut, while it is equally effective where wings ha\e already been broken. '
