Expert Reply:
I'm not sure which brake adjustment tool you have but on our PT # W80630 there are two sides that can be used. The end with the 90 degree bend is designed for adjusting electric brakes on drop axles like yours, which will allow you to access that hard-to-reach star wheel adjuster.
There's not really an additional trick or easier method for this process. I have attached a demonstration video below that you might also find helpful. You can skip ahead to the 4:35 mark to watch our installer adjust the brake assembly.
