I was finally able to tinker with my car after around two months of general inactivity. Then, I realized that most of my diesel discusion threads are horrible. They have the "before" state, and then something around the middle, and then the "end" state. So, here's my efforts to mimic Army, now called Stretch and a few other folks who photo-document their projects.

Injectors. I rebuild a bunch of injectors for folks and I seem to answer the same questions over and over. So, I hope the below helps.

First: Here's my disclairmer. Do not try anything I do. This is for entertainment only. I am not a mechanic by trade. Follow all safety rules and common sense.

Second: make sure you have a nice spot to do your repairs. I am blessed with a garage which I can actually drive my car into. Bad weather makes for a bad project or at least a lot of unneccessary misery.

Third: Make sure you have all your parts. Nothing more miserable than starting a project, and you're missing parts. For this operation, you'll need 5 injectors, 5 new heat shields, and return line.

Fourth: Tools. What I do is probably overkill, but it makes the job go a lot faster and easier.
