You'll need to remove the injector pipes first. Then, clean the area around the injectors and pull them out. It would be best to get new holders and seals because they get hard and they are cheap. Push the injectors in until they click.

While you're in there, inspect the breather hoses, from the rear passenger cam cover and the short pipe to the underside of the air cleaner. It was clogged on my 420SEL. Then, check the hose at the front of the drivers side cam cover and then make sure the small hole at the bottom of the air bypass holder that the hose attaches to is not clogged. Use a small pin, the end of a small drill or the sharp end of a test light to clean this small hole. These are part of the engine blowby ventilation system. They must be clean or excessive pressure will build up inside the engine and push the seals out causing oil leaks.

On top of the cooling system bypass 'pipe', cast into the intake manifold at the front or it, there are two vacuum switches. Over time the small plastic connectors on top where the vacuum lines attach become brittle and can break. Be careful when moving the vacuum lines around at the front of the engine. Inspect all the vacuum lines becasue they become brittle and can break.

Pop the various throttle linkages off with a 10mm open end wrench and lube them with grease.
