Rod Guide Removal Plate – (E4-MTL-0002A00)

    Black oxide steel

Lightweight and easy to install and operate, the assembly has a nitrogen actuation valve with knurled knob that controls nitrogen flow between the shock and tool manifold, allowing the user to open the valve when pressurizing and close it when connecting/disconnecting to prevent pressure loss.

A slim, durable design makes it lightweight and comfortable to use.

  • Two-pin spanner wrench (XVA, AS2)

Rod Guide Insert Tool – (E4-MTL-0009A00)

The BILSTEIN Rod Guide Insert Tool is an extension tool that provides a safe method of installing/seating rod guide assemblies during damper service. The tool allows the installer to fully seat the rod guide assembly in the damper body without damaging the guide or the tube opening, and fits all customer-serviceable/take-apart 46mm BILSTEIN products including, but not limited to, AS2, SN2, SNS2, SNS3, XVA, XVS and MDS.

46mm Tube Plug – (E4-MTL-0006A00)

The BILSTEIN 46mm Tube Plug is designed to prevent damper tube damage that can occur during installation and removal of the end cap. The anodized billet aluminum plug installs on the rod guide end of the tube and provides internal support while using a tube wrench to remove or install the end cap assembly.

The Tube Plug works with all customer-serviceable/take-apart 46mm BILSTEIN products including, but not limited to, AS2, SN2, SNS2, SNS3, XVA, XVS and MDS.

Damper Vice Assembly – (E4-MTL-0004A00)

The anodized billet assembly with two-piece stand offers a versatile, compact design that can be mounted as a standalone vice or secured in a bench vise. Simple to install, it keeps the workbench organized.

The assembly works with all customer-serviceable/take-apart 46mm BILSTEIN products including, but not limited to, AS2, SN2, SNS2, SNS3, XVA, XVS and MDS.
