front strut's shock insert cap removing

[Konstantin Bogach]

Hi listers.

Could not wait for special tool rental and I do it first time so I did
no know what to expect. So... questions came up as usually:

How to remove front shock retaining cap without special tool?  I
remember listers mention pipe wrench.  Is any other way?

Front Boge and Bilstein has different caps and need differen spcial
tools. What kind of special tool is mentioned in Bentley?  Hollow long
hex? It is for Boge. Then what is used for Bilsteins?  I  has 2 notches
on at the ends of the cap's diameter.

Thank you.
