The injectors are held on by the fuel rails. The part of the rails that holds the injector to it is bendable. Just pull the metal out enough to remove the injector. When you look at it you will understand what I mean. Then just pull the injector out of the intake manifold. Oh and unplug the connector too

Bendable WTF! Your kidding right?

You need to take the 4 Bolts that hold the rail down off.
There are retainer clips on each injector, other then that they are just pressed in. The O-rings on both sides of the injectors keep them sealed and keep them in place.

those little clips on the injectors will fly off sometimes,so be sure to watch out for that... I just cupped my hand around the area to block it from flying away anywhere

OMG.....I was talking about the retainer clips on the rails that hold the rails in place.... I wasn't talking about the fuel rail itself

Not bad, but I still hate it. Can't wait to get out and go back to Chicago.
