Specialist tools

I'm thinking about stripping down my Cento for a respray.

Can someone tell me if there are any specialist tools I will need?

I won't be stripping the engine or anything, just all the parts which will need painting (frame, panels, fork, hubs, wheels, headset...).

Thanks!

Only thing I can think of is the tool for the steering bearing lock ring but from memory that's smaller than series1/2/3 lambrettas.

Decent socket set and spanner set along with some screwdrivers and you will soon have a pile of bits.

Have a camera handy, along with some freezer bags and a permanent pen so you can keep things together as you dismantle it all.

Thanks LP - I guess this is the tool you mention:

All the other tools listed seem to be for engine work:

Right, I've got the steering lock ring tool. :)

The only other thing I can see being a problem is removing the hubs. Is there a special J-range tool available? Apparently it's different to a standard Lambretta hub puller, but I can't see one for sale anywhere.

Do I need it, or is there another way?
