Where does a person find this tool to change out the valve seals?
I'm having trouble finding it online
Also, to get the injectors out, do I have to buy cummins (inj removal tool)
Or can I pop them out like in series 60s, remove the inj hold down bolts and use a crows foot and walla??

I used a adjustable crows foot to pop mine out.
Is this website the best place to order from?
I see no pictures to the part# lol
Have you ordered from them before
I've never needed to do this repair. I just put a new head on during my Inframe 10k miles ago. It's just one of 2 places I found that sold that tool number.
I will post pictures and all parts numbers tomorrow so you all will know. This is really not a hard job. I took the advice from Unilever's he said it was easy but I was nervous at first but since then its a cake walk.
I think by the time you bought all the tools you'd have more $ invested in tools than paying a shop to do it. Between the spring compressor, seal puller, seal installers (there are 2) it would likely be close to a grand in tools you're likely to never need again.
all you need is the spring compressor - the part numbers in my toolbox but im not near it at this moment.
1 - remove the injectors - you dont need the tool you can get them out fairly easily with a small heel bar.
2 - bar the cylinder over to TDC, use a ziptie in the injector hole to verify TDC.
3 - use the spring compressor and remove all 4 springs.
4 - use needle nose pliers to remove old stem seals, install new updated seals - you do not need a tool really they just push right on.
4 - reassemble and move to the next cylinder.

Awesome sounds super easy.
I just want to verify the part # for the tool???
But it online or thru my cummins dealer? Which ever is faster or cheaper?
