Here is picture of the "octopus" or all the steel lines (less #5) remaining together. This makes the job a lot easier, especially when it comes time to reassemble. I like using the 17mm funky socket to remove the steel lines. You do not need to have this tool, but I like it.
The next picture is where you should be in this operation. See, the injectors are now in the wide open, ready to be removed. So far, all you have done is removed the braided return lines and the steel lines from the IP to the injectors.
The next part involves removing the injectors. I use a 1 1/16" deepwell socket. I have both, 6 pt and 12 pt. It doesn't really matter. You could use a 27mm (?? I think) socket, but I like the tiny extra amount of room. I use an extension and a 36" breaker bar since I am getting old and weak. Slightly break the injector loose and it should turn by hand right out.
I break all of them loose, then I remove them, 1 by 1. Again, I like to work as much as an Henry Ford assembly line fashion will permit.
Then, remove the heatshields. I use this gadget. It has a magnet on the end. Not sure where I picked this up. The heatshields pop right out. If yours are difficult, get a screwdriver (a fatty) and insert and once you get the HS to rotate in its hole, it should pop right out.
