Does anyone on here, that resides in Houston, have the necessary tool needed to pull the delivery valves on the IP? I spoke with two of the dealers in town and neither of them know the part #. I need to get this job done as I am getting a little tired of my car running really rough and smelling up my garage due to diesel leaking everywhere. Please let me know.

Search the web for a good price.

Make sure that you get the right one. The first one that I purchases was from Performance Products. It would not fit my 94 S350 delivery valves. I am told that the 86 and up socket is different from the one for 85 and below. The bore of the thing would not fit over the neck of the valves. I finally used a borrowed tool made of one of the valve collars welded to the end of a cut off wrench. Perfect.

Ironically, the best price I have found was from my dealer...I think it was around $25. It lists for $27 and I get 10% off locally...though I now have a source that give 25% off.
