Is there a socket that will fit a brake adjustment wedge on the model A? Thank Bob Brown

You might have better luck with an 8-point socket. I got some a few years ago form the local Sears.

The vendors sell a brake adjust tool, not real expensive at all. eBay has them from time to time as well.

NAPA Auto Parts in Redmond WA carry the correct size 8 point.

I use a Craftsman 8 point socket or 8 point 1/2" Lectrolite Corp. Defiance,OH. wrench long handle, works very well. Adjustable wrench could work,but be careful not to round the corners anymore, than what they are ( this would be my last option ). IMO

I use a tire iron that has a 1/2 " square hole on the end.
