injector o ring replacement

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to start my glow plugs and injector o rings project. I thought I saw a link on the o ring replacement somewhere on here a while back. Searched for it the last couple days and couldn't find it. Anybody got the link? Also, any last minute advice or words of encouragement for a rookie. Thanks all.

Once you are in there, you will realize it's not as hard as it looks. Good luck man.

Anybody thinking of doing this, just go for it. As Rubberduck says it wasn't to bad. Nothing real weird needed. Decent socket set (with extensions and swivels to get to valve cover bolts) some decent allen wrenches, and your typical other hand tools. (Oh yeah, have some deep set sockets on hand, some kind of hand pump or syringe to get oil and fuel out of cylinders, and some tubing to slip over the glow plugs so you can remove them after loosened up with a good deep set socket.) I gave it two days for the full job. Could definitly do it quicker but being a complete rookie at diesels it took me both days. This was for complete glow plug system R&R, and the injector o ring replacement. The write up linked to me from Cuda Jim was also a big help. Thanks again Cuda.
