Door panel removal tool question
I am planning on removing the door panels from my 08 TL and purchased the KTC trim tool set to help with this. I also noticed the service manual section on panel removal mentions the Snap-on A177a trim pad remover tool.
Is the snap-on tool and the KTC tool set the same, or do they actually call for using both of these sets? Will I be okay just using the KTC tools, and also if anyone has used these before which one from the set should I use to pry the panel off?
Thanks!

u dont need it.....u take out 4 screws (2 behind the handle to open the door, one in a hole where u pull the door shut, and the 4th on the right of the door panel in plain view) and pull the bottom out then the sides and the door panel comes off be super careful and keep the panel really close to the door frame when it completely loosens, lift it up look in through the top and reach in behind the door panel where u see the cable that opens the door and pull that apart from the handle and take that apart if u pull like a maniac expect to break the support that holds the wire in place to open the door. then couple of wires disconnect from the door lock button and the window buttons.
