Chainsaw? Seriously - there's no "easy way", you'll have to remove upper half of intake manifold first, if I remember it right - 7 bolts, to get access to fuel rail and injectors

If any consulation, you'll find the upper intake in need of a good douching anyway. Perfect timing!

When new parts are accessible and good quality - I usually don't bother myself with cleaning. Problem is that I live rather far away from source of good parts

Update - a can of carb cleaner should make it an "easy clean"
