You could order the parts and have them installed locally. or, Buy the tool and install them yourself. If you are a user, then only one or two replacements would pay for the tools. This is the URL of a company that sells the tools: http://www.micro-tools.com/ or, Buy the parts, wait for a local Leica clinic and have them installed then. finally, Send one camera in at a time and have them CLAed at the same time as they are due for it. There should be no extra labour charge on top of the CLA as the part has to come off to service the camera.
