Its called a big ass press. Aka, just take it in, cuz they have to be pressed out and in. I was in your shoes like a month ago.

motors by gosh does a good job, you have to heat the head and then press them out so the best way is to send it in!

DG Motors in Hopkins for quality; Wagamon Bros in Columbia Heights for price.

You also need to heat the head up, or the head around the guide will crack, then you are sol. Bring it to a good machine shop that has worked on a dsm head before and you should be fine.

From all this, I would say if your looking for a price just call one of these shops and ask.
