Injector sleeve question

I hope I am posting this in the right place- I am new to FTE.
I am about to replace the injector sleeves and o rings in my early '99 7.3.
I have diesel in my coolant and I am assuming that is the problem. I am planning to buy parts and rent the removal tool from Swamps. But, Swamps is about a week out on the rental. Anyone have a remove/ install tool they want to rent out? Or know of a place to buy one cheap? Swamps charges $50 for their rental. I would maybe make one, but I can't find a 1-1/4" bolt or tap in my town...
Any words of wisdom from those of you who have done this before would be appreciated. I am planning to remove the a/c heater blower to make more room on the passenger side head.
Thanks for the help!
