    So we have to have a special tool just to change the seals out on the fuel injectors? Gotta love BMW sometimes.

    Here 'ya go --- (edit --- Might have to search the site for the tool # 130190)

    Assenmacher Specialty Tools from ASTtool.com

    Instructions on how to use it can be found in the Bentley manual. The AST part # matches the Bentley part # --- 130190, and the illustrations.

    Before you buy one, try working with your local dealer --- BMW or Mini. I was able to order "the factory tool" thru a dealer (not local) for this task at about half the price. Gotta admit, it's still in the mail so it hasn't been verified to be the correct tool --- yet. I'll post something here after seals are replaced.

    Tool came on today's UPS truck. Looks just like the photos Nathan posted. Worked pretty good too! Seals have been replaced, and fuel injectors w/rail are now installed. Now to finish the assembly process ---

    Box is labeled with a BMW Group # --- 83 30 0 495 756
    It also has the Bentley tool # on the label --- 13 0 190

    I wouldn't even think about replacing this seal without a tool similar to this one.
