A subsea removable flex joint laydown tool is described herein. The tool can include a body having a first portion and a second portion hingedly coupled to the first portion. The tool can also include a flex joint coupling feature disposed on an inner surface of the first portion and the second portion toward a proximal end of the body, where the flex joint coupling feature is configured to couple with a first laydown tool coupling feature of a flex joint. The tool can further include a riser coupling feature disposed on the inner surface of the first portion and the second portion toward a distal end of the body, where the riser coupling feature is configured to couple with a second laydown tool coupling feature of a riser. The tool can also include at least one laydown tool coupling feature movably coupled to the first portion.
