Is the Ammco 1750 an adjustable wrench?

The brake shoe anchor bolt (the eccentric at the bottom) takes a 3/8" open end wrench and has a 15/16" lock nut. The brake shoe cam adjusting nut reqires a 3/4" wrench.

I suggest you click on the Museum link below and scroll down to BRAKES article in the Technical Support section to see how to adjust the brakes.

This also covers the M-37 series.
