I have not tried this tool (Lisle or others) myself but have researched this because I may have to replace the seals on my 9000 and I do not want to remove the head.
Everything I have read reflects Ander's experience. What others have reported is that if the valve retainers are of the single groove type, then the removal and installation using the tool works very well.
If the retainers are two or three groove, then the removal works fine but the installation is variable or does not work. Some have reported that the procedure for installing two or three groove retainers can be done, but the window of success is very narrow. Speed and pressure of using the tool has to be done a certain way every time.
