It dosent look to hard but just wonderin if there is any tricks or things to watch out for. I looked for a tech article and didn't find one. Surrely somebody knows how to do this.

gunk down and dry the motor bfore disassembly and remove the injector lines from both ends completely do not bend them out of the way..or that will cause failure

Remove even the small return line from both ends, do not bend any lines.
To pull an injector slip a piece of 3/4" steel or PVC pipe 1-3/8" long over the injector then tighten down a lug nut you borrowed from the front wheel on top of the injector. Stack washers on it if the pipe isn't long enough.
It will pop out easily.
Clean the injector bore well. If you don't have bore brush use gun cleaning tools.
Use all new sealing washers that are the correct thickness for the new injector you are installing.
New washers on the return line also.
