yes it can be done, its a pain and you'll bang up your knuckles but it can be done. first take off the intake tubing, whatever u may have. loose the coil pack and plug wires for easier access. remove the manifold braket(black) and then just remove the fuel line going to the fuel rail by taking out the two small (8mm) bolts on the driver's side of the fuel rail. now comes the ass pain, there are 2 13 mm bolts holding the fuel rail on...use a swivel head adapter to take these out. the rail will be loose after that, disconnect the retainers holding the injectors to the rail and remove rail, then injectors.
its not as bad as it sounds...just be sure to use new lower seals when putting the injectors back in..the stock ones swell and don't fit back in nicely.
good luck

If you take an extra 5 minutes and take off the valve cover it will make it MUCH easier. I did mine w/ just taking the valve cover off and I had enough room that I didn't have to remove the rail. Just unbolt it and pull it back and pop it off of the injectors. Then replace the injectors and pop the rail back on them and bolt it back in.
