Suburban Furnace Circuit Board Question

I have a Suburban NT-20SEQ Furnace and diagnosed with a faulty circuit board, have received the replacement board today from the USA and hopefully will be fitting it this weekend, i believe its only a approx 25 min job to replace, what tools do i need to remove just the circuit board, removing the furnace looks quite easy but with the TT being away from my home i want to take the correct tools/screw drivers if that is all i need, Cheers

I am going to say a phillips screwdriver and needle-nose pliers to remove the terminals. Don't forget to turn off the battery disconnect or better yet, remove the ground wire from the negative post of the battery, that way you'll know the board has no power. You may want to have a set of nut drivers and some way to mark or wrap the wires. Take a photo before removing anything for reference.

Also, grab some #20 square head bits... long and short. Almost every component in a TT made since 2013 is secured by square head bits. Cabinets, hardware, switches, access panels, water pumps, etc... are almost 100% squares.

open end wrench's or and adjustable wrench's to remove gas line. soap to leak check when put back together. Pen/paper to wright down the wire placement. masking tape to label the wires. pictures help also.

How much did the board cost? Mine was a couple of hundred bucks, though it was for a Layton.

Have now replaced the circuit board which was quite easy say 40 mins taking your time and all good now, took plenty of photos of the wiring rather then label all the wires, i was lucky with mine you could remove the the internal furnace and leave the outer casing/housing in place, only used the furnace around 10 times since buying the TT from new, will be interesting to see how long this circuit board last,
Most important thing is making sure no gas leaks at pipes after the install.
