Yes, but not for $37. And you don't need much leverage either. Better get a $ 3.70 one and grind it down. Could maybe even unscrew them with a chain-type or steel-belt-type oil filter wrench or similar.

After fitting the new spheres, there will be air in the system. This has to be bled out. Don't know about part numbers today. Got my spheres 2nd hand, complete with actuators. Just unscrewed them and used the old rings.Thanks uHu.
Could you elaborate on number 4, bleeding while keeping the resevoir full. Once you've let the pressure off to install the new sphere, would there be any more bleeding to do?
Also, do I need to order the back up ring and o-rings separately? Any chance you have part numbers?
Thanks!
12 grad's ??? You must have some lift!By the way, our LX passes the graduations on the resevoir test. It gets more than 12 from low to high. However, I am all but certain the rear spheres are gone, as the rear rides just like the front when the front spheres went.

I just plan on having the Lexus dealer service my AHC at the normal interval (60K mile service). If serviced by the book how long do these systems last without major $$$ repair costs???
My feeling is it should last quite a while if serviced properly. I'm thinking 60K is kind of long between fluid changes, as I think the AHC fluid absorbs water like brake fluid. The brake fluid is also spec'd at 60k, which is way too long. Here in AZ, I don't have any real problem w/ humidity and water absorption into the fluid, it's more heat. I had my AHC fluid changed last summer, plan to have it done every other year. Most likely, I'll have the dealer do it, partly due to the higher risk of injury from the vehicle dropping, plus if the AHC goes south after the warranty is over and the dealer has changed the fluid every 2 yrs, which is way more often than the spec, I might get more slack from lexus for any potential repair.
That's a good point about like brake fluid. I thought Lexus wanted the brake fluid changed every 30K miles, for my 2004, also states 30K on the 2007 maintance guide.
