No probs.
Always a pleasure to help when possible.

Injectors need the top cover removing, then the injector pipes.
unplug the wiring and remove the bleed lines

then remove 2 small nuts (one on each side of the injector)

They should then come out..
You may need to persuade the a bit, but mine came out with a small bump with my palm.

replacement in true Haynes fashion is the reverse of removal!!

you will need to make sure that all the holes are covered to stop crud getting in, and mae sure everything is very clean when putting back together

Whilst you are at that point it would make sense to check the crankcase breather and replace with a vortex one if it isn't already...
do a search on here for them, plenty of threads covering them.
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
