Specific tools needed to remove LW4000 front panel ?

I bought a wrap from STA-Vend, for my LW4000. I think it'll be easier to take that front panel down & adhere sticker, than just try to put it on while it's overhead.
What are the specific tools I'm gonna need?
 
Have you even looked at? remove the hydraulic shocks on one side they just pop out and same for opposite side and maybe basic hand tools that every Carwash man has at his wash or on the truck or should have. A set of sockets wrenches your basic hand tools very easy straight forward process need two people and two ladders so you don't drop it and crack the fiberglass.
 
Just look at the orientation of the retaining plates on the hinges when you remove the bolts. The holes are offset so they put pressure on the hinge point, keeping it from slipping off once the front cover is open. I just want to make sure you put it back together right once you remove it. Other than that, pretty straight forward as everyone else mentioned.
 
For a wrap you will probably want to leave the panel up!! You will need to be pulling on the wrap material at any of the bends and curves, and probably heating it in places so if its laying on the ground not attached to anything will make it difficult to pull when needed. Please post some pics when complete or a link to some I am interested to see the look.
 
I want to see some pictures post them up and did Ivonne use the slick HD material like on the meter boxes they do. I had no idea she could do a wrap that big. Thanks I bet it looks good.
 
I'm gonna attempt to put the wrap on this Sunday. It is not the slick HD material, like my meter boxes are. My meter boses look great! Hope this does as well. I have gone with the entire "USA FLag" look, for everything. My son is a US Marine Reserve.
