Aftermarket T wrench
I bought this wrench for $1 at a swap meet a couple of weeks ago. I suppose it is an aftermarket, it has a S stamped into it. Wonder who the manufacturer was?

Re: Aftermarket T wrench
I think it would be interesting to see how many different aftermarket T wrenches one could find.

Re: Aftermarket T wrench
That is definitely a handy wrench. I have an old bent and beat up one that I have been using on my 15's wheels.
It works on the hub caps and the threaded bearings. Not sure what the orifices are good for?
Maybe some one out there can update us?

Re: Aftermarket T wrench
That style is the best for not buggering up your hub caps as it has a shoulder ! The larger hex is for the front wheel bearing retainer nut and the small hex is for the c.c. drain plug & rear axle housing plug.

#1349 in the parts book. It's for the hubcaps, front wheel bearings, oil pan and rear axle plugs, and rear axle nuts. That last one is the reason so many of these wrenches have flattened sides from being whacked with a hammer. Ford tools came from several suppliers. In this case, I suspect S is for Starrett.
The inevitable often happens.

Re: Aftermarket T wrench
I already had a "genuine" Ford one, or two, but I'll pick up more when I find them for a buck. Never can tell I might want to give one to a friend sometime.

Re: Aftermarket T wrench
The best ones also have a shoulder on the inner opening that is sortof oblong. It will reach into your front bearing to help you remove it, but they are hard to find

That was for Ford wire wheel front hubs.
