Disconnect both ends of the injector lines. Get a 17mm crows foot and use it with a socket extension and ratchet to loosen the nuts. Then the nuts should screw off by hand. You can lift off all five injector pipes as an assembly. This makes it very easy to access the injectors for removal/install. You will need a special socket or a deep socket to R&R the injectors. You may need to loosen the clamps between the injector pipes to allow more flex when you reinstall. Each nut should easily screw on by hand.

Can the injectors be removed without unloosening the pluming at the pump end? Will it flex just enough to get the injectors out and (hopefully in)?
