Before you do, be aware that the injector seats themselves have sealing rings 
that tend to get _very_ brittle with age.   Get a new set _before_ removing the 
seats, and then be prepared for some fishing with a mirror, Bend-a-Lite, and 
various derivatives of wire coathangers.

(I don't think the 13mm Allen key needs to be cut down.  If you want to be 
_really_ flash, cut off a 3" length of the handle and use a 13mm Langline 
wrench as a driver.)
