viv w Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Jim, A picture of your hub nut would help identify what you are looking for, also check on Ebay under Buffalo wire wheel, the wrenches come up quite often, but there are various sizes and types.

edinmass Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 They go by sizes............3,4,5,or six. I think yours is a four, but not sure. Prices are all over the place. Number five's bring more money than the others......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are all over the place. Number five's bring more money than the others......... That would be because they went on some of the big boys. And I agree with Ed, prices are all over - you should get one for a hundred bucks or less if you are patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron hausmann Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Laura, The octagonal wrenches for octogonal Houk #4 or #5 hubcaps are usually available on eBay for $50-150 dollars. The “flush-type” wrenches for Houk flush-type caps are extremely rare. In ten years, I have never seen any flush-type wrench on eBay. Only once in several years was I able to find and then buy one at Hershey. Unfortunately that is the type of wrench you need. That said, I have one spare Houk #4 flush-type wrench (pictured) that I would sell, but not cheap. PM me if you are interested. Thank you. Ron Hausmann P.E.
