@Mightytalldude told me it existed, or I’d have never known.

Looks like ut would clean the dirt out from under my fingernails real good ,
Might even be able to pick my teeth after some BBQ 😬
And at weird inconvenient angles.

Now this is starting to get intriguing 🤔 does this have anything to do with Persian belly dancers??
Depends on their mood.

I don’t know how, but it apparently lets you adjust the parking brake shoes without pulling the rotors. I’m assuming it’s black magic.

Since Jeep isn't like other manufacturers that have auto adjusting parking brakes, had to go old-school and do it the hard way with the tool. You do have to take the brake caliper off to get the best access to the turn screw, and then, guess if you turn it towards the right or the left to increase the size. The passenger side was much quicker. After setting them, I still had to pop up the back side of the center console and take up the cable slack with a deep 10mm and a 8" extension. I almost pulled the rotors, but they are slightly rusted on, so a bit of PB Blaster and I broke the locking screw loose, but I'll save pulling the rotor for another day. I finished it off with a hand wash. Today's high 101° so I'm a little cooked.
