Default B&M Shift Kit Install help

Hi I am planning to do a shift kit install on my friends AODE in his 95. Its the B&M shift improver kit #40264. Well I think I can do it but Im a little skeptical on the 1-2 accumulator. It talks about needing an Servo Piston remover tool.. but it said experienced transmission techs should be able to remove and install the 1-2 accumulator without the use of the tools. What do you think? Am I going to need this tool. Also any websites with an install would be great. Its hard to make out the pictures in the included manual in the kit. Thanks in advance.[&:]

All you need is a pair of snap ring pliers and a hammer.Use the hammer handle to hold pressure on the servo,remove snap ring,if servo does not come out easily,use a pair of channel locks to wiggle and it will come out.I think you are replacing the spring\springs,you will then have to remove valve body and replace other springs.good luck hope this helps.
