1. hub drawer for steering link:

For deinstallation of the steering link use the drawer Nr. 779 from Hazet. The design is robust, you can buy the parts seperately. Cost 70 Euro incl. Tax (toolshop).

Be aware. Don't hit the steering link with a hammer in order to get them out. You damage the thread, or damage the steering link. Important : Please use grease before you re-install. If you see corrosion, derust upfront.

2. spezial tools:

A lot of times, I have heard : This screw is not easy to get access to... My solution : bend the tools a little bit, in order to get access to the screw heads. Use a heater to heat up the tool in the bend area. Don't do this without bringing the tool up to temperature. It will break. The tool will be hard enough after the bend. After awhile, you will have all tools together.

4. Brake tube tools for 460

For the brake tubes you can get a tool from HAZET or GEDORE. These are better suited than the normal open end wrenches. The big one is for the hexagonal (17er) on the flexible brake hoses, the small one for the Nut of the brake pipes . More information: Basteltipp Nr.13.
