Accumulators opening tools compilation


How to open an accumulator of SY (that is a one that can be serviced, not disposable).
According to the workshop manual
Section G6 - Hydraulic Accumulators. mentions "2. Clamp the sphere in a vice fitted with jaw protectors and using the special tool RH 8144 remove the clamping". But this tool (even if it is documented) can not be found currently.
