Our Mailing address is below.Also, please return the INSTRUCTION sheet that comes with the TOOL.QUESTION: How hard would it be to put these parts in without it? Can I make do with something smooth about the correct diameter or am I WAY better off to have it?** It can be done by hand, if you have small fingers. I use to install them without the tool.Once I got the tool, I could not imagine how I every did it without the tool.The tool is made to exact measurements of the Seals on one end and for the Spacers on the other.It's very simple, but not something that could be easily fabricated / duplicated.And the manufacturer charges us a very high cost for this tool. And that is why it cost so much.Again, it can be done without the tool, but if you drop a SEAL into the Valve slots, it will fall into the TANK below, and be forever lost.If you are going to do this without the tool, it would be safer to remove the head from the Tank and work on a table.You can see some directions on page 29 and 30 of this Fleck 2510 manual,Fleck 2510 Service ManualAnd this video can be helpful =https://youtu.be/OamxjyjqDU8For RENTAL Returns:Our Mailing and Return Ship To Address is: Softenerparts.com 517 Paul Morris Drive Ste C3Englewood, FL 34223
