Yes. Highly recommended (unless you can make your own). I have heard of people getting away without it but like the guy in this very good write up (http://noahlh.com/car/coilover_howto/) I ended up not being able to get one side off without one. I tried everything from heat, to pb blaster and nothing would pop that sucker loose. Luckily one of our techs had one that I could borrow.Cary, do those require the key to get the shock out of the lower fork?
You can buy one here (the one our tech had) http://www.metalnerd.com/cat05.htm (about half way down part number mn3424) or http://www.autotech.com/product/tools-bushings/10-012-411.html?fromcat=
