I was cleaning the rats nests out of my new 58 Viking yesterday, and found what I think is the original lug wrench. It is about 1.5 to 2 feet long. One end has the square nut, the other the 1.5 socket. There is a hole on the shaft on either end that I assume had a removable steel rod. That is missing so far, but I will walk the junkyard looking for a replacement at lunch.
ps, this thread saved me a lot of headache and potential breaking of parts. Thanks all
