Hard starting problem

Got a hard starting problem on my 03. It starts fairly quick when cold but when hot it can crank up to 10 seconds before starting. On occasion I have had to crank it twice before it starts. I was told to check the injector leak back. I have ordered the cap nut from Cummins to test the injectors. Anyone done this procedure before and have any tips on the process?
