ADJUSTING WING NUTS
Difficulty is often experienced in adjusting wing nuts on brake rods, particularly when the threads have become rusted. The 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 a tomjiybar 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 have already been broken.
