Unfortunately, you need to remove the complete manifold to access the repairs. While it is possible to remove the intake manifold without removing the injectors and fuel rail it is only a few extra steps to pull the injectors. Doing so will give you a little more room and less things for the wiring to get hung up on when you are removing the manifold. If you want to leave the injectors in place simply skip the step of pulling the rail and injectors. If you are going to be opening the fuel line on the motor the first step is to prep the car. I like to tell people to pull the fuel pump relay and then try to start the car. The car will turn over and then die. Do this about two to three times. Doing so will help drain excess fuel out of your system. Also open the gas cap to help depressurize the system. Then, make sure that the car has cooled down; you don't want to be working with gasoline when the car is hot. Have a fire extinguisher handy. There will be some spillage of fuel as it's nearly impossible to prevent. Also, wear chemical resistant gloves if you don't want to get any gasoline on your hands, and make sure that you have plenty of paper towels or rags to help you clean up. Perform the injector removal in a clear, open, and well-ventilated space. It may not hurt to have an assistant around in case there are any problems. You are going to be pulling the injectors out from the manifold so make sure to clean around the area and blow it out with compressed air so you do not get dirt down into the injector openings.
