                  There is no need to remove the intake mani to get the injectors out. That doesn't make any sense. There's enough room to pop 2 injectors off of the fuel rail (closest to the firewall) and slide the rest of the injectors out as a hole (injectors + fuel rail)

                      Unless you need a new intake manifold gasket, don't remove it

                            I've taken them off without taking out the mani. It's a PITA to get the injector clips. But it can be done.

                              I have done it many times, no big deal to change injectors without removing the intake.
