^ This. The correct tool pays for itself the first time you use it. The "coat with grease" step is an important one, and is prescribed by the FSM, do not skip it. I cringe when I hear of folks dry reaming, or jamming random long tools in there. If you're not going to do it correctly, why bother with DIY, just pay the dealer to do it.
