The Futaba servo is a perfect fit (I run one too), you will probably need to put a small spacer between the servo horn and the ball stud to get the servo link rod to be perfectly perpendicular to the bell cranks though, about 2mm IIRC.
You will need a good quality 2mm driver, a LONG 2.5mm driver (best it is ball ended too) as that makes motor changes easier with the debris guards still in palce and there are a few 1.5mm heads in there too (especially if you follow the grub screw tip).
When you first use the shock cartridge tool make sure it is pushed fully home and keep downward pressure on it as you turn it to help it last a good long time. Actually when doing the shocks only a "nip" is required at either top or bottom as they are beautifully made and will not leak on you!
