Hook/spanner wrench for XG850 shock adjustment?

[FTG-05]

Anyone know the actual size of the wrench? The nut appears to be about 4" in diameter +/-.

I found a hook wrench on the Messicks site (07015-00038), but it's been discontinued.

Go old school on it, take the weight off it and lube it up and use a pipe wrench.

I usually use a drift punch on shock locking collars.

never found a spanner that actually worked, nor fit in the required space for the 850's. I always just removed the weight from the shocks (wheels off the ground) and then used a large groove-joint plier.
