Default Skymaster oleo shocks tool & rebuild kit

Gents,

Is there a specific tool to use to loosen and tighten these valves? I was planning on sacrificing a flat head screwdriver and Dremel a little relief for the nipple, but figured I'd ask here first. Additionally, does anyone know of a rebuild kit for these shocks? I've got this set leaking from the valve and from the bottom of the strut itself.

Thanks in advance.

Your flat head screwdriver and Dremel trick is exactly what I have been using for years. As for the various o-rings and bits, I have always had a very good response from John and Anton at Skymaster when ordering these bits.

Enjoy the refurb.

Thanks! I'll send a note to John to try and secure some parts.
