Brake adjuster wrench
I can’t take credit for coming up with this, so to whomever did, thanks!
Get a largish ‘L’-shaped Allen wrench (I used a 5/16”, but nearly any size will do). Get a 1/4” drive socket that’s the same size as the Allen wrench. Put the hex portion of the socket on the short leg of the Allen wrench. Put the square-drive end of the socket on the adjuster stud. Et voilà! — brake tool!

- Just for that bit of brilliance, I'm adding a “Tools” category.

- I did the same thing to adjust my MGB's rear brakes. Worked perfectly. I put a spot of green paint on the allen wrench and socket before returning to the tool box so that next time I can just grab the two quickly and get to work.
