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.

An actuator assembly for a subsea remotely operated lifting shackle for use in a subsea field operation is described herein. The actuator assembly can include an actuator body and an actuator coupled to the actuator body. The actuator assembly can also include at least one docking receptacle coupling feature operatively controlled by the actuator, where the at least one docking receptacle coupling feature removably couples, using the actuator, to at least one first actuator assembly coupling feature of a mounting adapter of the lifting shackle. The actuator assembly can further include at least one pin coupling feature operatively controlled by the actuator, where the at least one pin coupling feature removably couples, using the actuator, to at least one second actuator assembly coupling feature of the mounting adapter of the lifting shackle.
