Injectors just pull out, they are held in with a rubber Oring. You should install new Orings when you put them back in (run a bead of Vaseline on the rubber when reinstalling)

you should polish the rails. its really easy and it would contrast well with the blower
 
x2 on polishing. Those injector clips just slide out. As it was said, your going to need new o-rings. As a matter of fact, get an entire engine gasket kit.
