Hello everyone !!
I recently had to do the dreaded injector sleeve seals and it was hard to find all the information and piece it together so I took photos from start to finish listing everything the part numbers photos of the Sleeve tools Home made and even the real holden tool, There is also the Holden letter step by step removal/installation of the tool but I figured hey I will add to it with my own photos and experiences as I did it on my driveway alone with no 4jx1 experience previously and I am not a practising mechanic. So here goes.
Step 1:
So start with draining the car of fluid 2x Oil Filters (Z600, Z79A) take the pressure out of the fuel system also by removing the fuel filter(Donaldson P550225 FF Part Number) found next to the passenger side battery behind the ECU (Engine Computing Unit), you should have 5-6ltrs of oil drain out from the sump this could be considerably more if you have fuel in the sump (caused by another issue but anyway). Also at this point dont forget to check your fuel tank there is a nut at the back easy to see 14ml remove that to see if there is any water in your tank it should have settled to the bottom if the car has not been driven for awhile, I personally drained mine empty and started again I only had 15ltrs in there anyway and didnt want to risk contamination once the job was done.
The radiator drain you can undo with your hand bottom of the radiator drivers side next to the bottom radiator hose it will spray out about 2 feet when it starts so enjoy that, take the cap off the radiator.

Put a tarp down as I have due to spillage hahah but thats how my coolant looked after the diesel had been mixing in it ! I had two tray's and two oil pan's which I needed due to the oil filters in such awkard places it dripped oil over the cross member and continued dripping for some time annoying but unless anyone else knows an easier way.

One oil filter is found on the passenger side thats the small one Z79a $8 - $10

Second Oil Filter is found on the drivers side its a larger Z600 $22 - $25 I had to use the following tool on this one it was a really awkard position the part number I used was from Super Cheap Auto #2067 Wrench Oil Filter Turney $7.59 attached is a picture also
Access both oil filters from under the car behind the engine looking towards the front of the car you will see them, lovelly awkard position for you!
