LX470 AHC Removal special tools thread (1 Viewer)

[JOSHD]

Hello,
My Ironman Foam Cell Pro kit is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. I have been reading through some of the AHC removal posts here on IH8Mud and looking to put together a list of the specialty tools that make it easier. I plan to purchase all through Amazon. So far I have:
1. 22mm Flex Head Ratcheting Wrench
2. 12mm Flex Head Ratcheting Wrench
3. Turkey Baster or fluid removal pump.

Please let me know if there is anything else you used when removing yours that made life easier. Cheers!

You may need a second, similar wrench for the new shocks. I know my OME and Tough Dog shocks were different than stock, but I don't recall the sizes.

10mm to open ports on globes and tube accumulator to drain fluid from system

32mm 36mm thin "fan hub" spanner if you wish to remove 'globes' separately from the actuators.

Edited for typo: Definitely 36 mm!

Pretty sure those are 36mm

Thanks @MJK -- definitely 36mm, not 32mm -- typo in previous post edited and corrected.

I used a small pair of bolt cutters to cut the ahc lines.
