Is this a brake adjusting tool ??

 

Yep it is.

 

Drum brake adjuster tool but most just use a big standard screw driver.

 

Yes it is. Its used to adjust the star wheel from the back side of the drum backing plate.

 

You all will probably find it hard to believe, but I've been using this as a paint can opener for about 30 years. Appreciate your replies. Now I can use it for the old girl.

 

If it works who cares lol,I'm the master at modding tools or using something off the wall.I have a draw of odd wrenches cut down or bent for tight spots.The timing belt tensor on a mitsubishi takes a special tool i made my own out of a pair or bent needle nose pliers.The drip rail trim on these mustangs comes off super easy with a old church key can opener.

 

How does the church key work?

 

Just use it to gently pray the trim off a little bit at a time and when you put it back just pushing with your hands works too.

 

Thanks.

 

I have seen a old bottle opener used the same way too.
