question for shock rebuilders - need help
trying to service my penske 8900 series shock and replace the reservoir hose. how do I remove this shaft bearing seal? Has anyone done this before. I thought it used a pin wrench but that was the older series with holes on the side of the shaft bearing not the top
close up (its the brass colored piece)
there are 4 holes in the top of it. From the penske manual it is a threaded piece that screws into the shock body
Any help much appreciated. hoping to get it done this weekend.

Penske probably has a special tool, but I would think an adjustable spanner wrench would work. You would just need the correct size for the holes. And don't ask me where to get a spanner wrench nowadays.

THanks guys for the ideas. I just have a little dremel so dont have the tool for the die grinder but NAPA suggested the same thing. Nobody carries in stock the asjustable spanner wrench. But, I figured out if you put it in a vice and insert a heavy punch/drift into 2 holes on opposite sides you can then use some very large lock plyers that clear the shaft but span both punches. You can then rotate and put equal pressure on both drifts and it rotates. Also free and at least I can get the job done this weekend. thanks for the suggestions

On another note, why not make one? 4-5 mm of sheet steel as a handle and a couple of short bolts of the rigth diameter in the right place...
