Allen Wrench Hub Cover Tool

[Jerry Winchester]

Seems like Ben and I had the same problem this past week. I needed to remove the chrome axle cover on the drive axle and I discovered that you have to have a widget that looks like an allen wrench with a hole in the middle to remove the locking screw that allows the whole thing to come off.

After searching the likely hiding places in the coach, I deducted that one of these didn't come with the coach.

Does anyone know where you get them? Unless Lew has a spare.....

If you grovel and beg, I MAY look for one in my collection of tools and junk. If I have one and you promise to act nice for the entire rally I may go beyond letting you touch it. I may actually let you have it. Maybe.

Notice there are no smiley things on this post.

Yeah, but if you are really careful...that is, with a Milwaukee Heavy Duty Drill, you could take a regular Allen wrench and drill out the center.

I'm creating a mental picture of JW with tools in his hand. It is not pretty.

I understand you can buy the wrenches for about $75. Which he may want to do instead of being nice to me.

Those screws are LH threads so you can't even use an EZ out.

Last one I saw was on ebay and it went for $2,995.

The better quality ones with greater provenance go for much more.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

My mistake. I was thinking of when I used to buy them in 1940.

I have the chrome wheel covers. You said you had chrome ones but I think you, being a former member of the Prevost Prouds, you have the stainless covers. Not the same tool.

But back to the chrome wheel covers. I got mine at the chrome store on 75 and have been very pleased. You are welcome to one of my extra wrenches if it's what you need. You must wait 2 full days to get it. Free things take time.

Lew,

You obviously have me confused with someone else. I don't think the PP's would have me. I am just a humble oil field worker who would be grateful for a special wrench. Jon's wrench requires a first male child like sacrifice. Having all girls, I have nothing to barter with. Except some used marker lights and he is going to get them anyway

Thank you Lew; friend of the proleteriate.

JW: I too learned the hard way (experience), The "Tamper Proof" Bits I bought at Advance Auto for $8 or $10 bucks, very poor quality, but will work a couple three times. What were they thinking will left hand threads and all? A thief probably too lazy for that. A Texan would have used baling wire, A Tennesseean would use duct tape. No instructions required.
