As the title says.

What size square spanner do I need to adjust the square adjuster on the back of the brake drums?


92 Sprite - rear brake drum

Gunna have to make the trip to halfrauds and only want to do it the once. Traumatic just thinking about it.

Cheers

I think it's 5/16" - but just ask for a brake adjust spanner- special tool with a square hole head.

Yes, 5/16. Hope you managed to find one, Halfords no longer list them.

There are loads on Ebay but most motor factors do sell them. I've just bought 3 from Ebay Worldwide brake adjusting spanner. 5/16th one end and the other is a 1/4".

Mine though will not be used on the mighty Mini but on a A330 RR Trent 700 thrust reverser manual release device. Suitably modified to get in some stupid positions and angles.
