Where can this special tool be obtained?

Removing that collar nut was a *****. WD40 i do not think would do it. Either need the special tool to hold the shaft of the shock from moving or need to grind the shaft with grinder super hardened steel, vice-grips wouldn't grab them unless we ground two flat edges to catch onto. Grinding was sketchy. I need to replace my mounts and cannot damage the new shocks. Thank you and great article, pretty much covers it all. Just for the iX you need to drive that axle out and remember to torque the axle nut back up to spec.
