Hardest part is getting the VC bottom back two bolts out.
A 1/4" drive ratchet thru the front wheel well worked for me.
The oil fill tube screws off also, that helps.

Do you know for sure you have injector O-ring problems??
Pull your turbo like I described in the 2nd post in this thread. You're smoking about like mine did when my turbo shaft seals went to crap. I can have my turbo off in 45 minutes. So you could have an answer or eliminate a possible cause in about an hour.
Taking the turbo off and checking for presence of oil in the up pipes or exhaust side of the turbo is A LOT QUICKER than pulling all your injectors for possibly no reason.

Once the engine heats up (after 15mins) The steady white smoke goes away and smokes a little bit more than a normal PS. It still has the same power as always and smokes black at WOT. Can you guys hear the loping sound on the video? Sound like a gas car running rich to me, When that happens I notice heavy white smoke once again (usually at stop lights) Im thinking its a injector problem? or can bad o-rings cause that? Im new to diesel problems. Thanks for the help guys.....

Mine smokes too
I have been having the same issues with mine. white smoke at start up that lasts for a few minutes then goes away. I could live with that but it now is smoking like that at stoplights and while going slow ( at idle behind school bus) I have the turbo off there is no oil in the baby but and I have done the CCV mod so that isn't a factor either. I am leaning to injectors.
