What special tool? Is this absolutely necessary? Can I get by without it? If not, where do I get one? I was just planning on driving the cam seal in using a block of wood, then possibly a seal installer or socket if it needs to be recessed (would check the existing seal and duplicate).

Is the o-ring for the pipe available at the dealer? Is the one in there reusable?

Also, regarding question #5 above, I'm sure the water pump would be easier to do while everything's already out, but is it NECESSARY? In other words, will I have to re-do the loctite and cam seal, etc. if I do the water pump at a later date?

Thanks for all the help!
