Nothing to it. 4 Bolts securing the fuel rail to the manifold that you need to back out after releaving the fuel pressure, then lift the rail straight up. It is possible to remove the injectors with the rail still attached to the fuel line. I swapped my out in my tuners parking lot. However it is easier to disconnect the rail from the line and lift the whole assembly out and lay it on a large shop towel. Flat head screw driver will release the metal clips that slide on and hold the injectors in. Once you slide that clip off the injector comes right out of the rail. Be mindful to lube the o-rings on both ends of the injectors before reinstalling. This will help them slide in without binding and tearing the o-rings.

Yep. It's called a Haynes manual. $24.00 at your local auto parts store.

Extra bonus: you'll also get writeups and pics on how to repair lots of other stuff for your truck.

Not trying to be sarcastic. It's just a bit much to ask for someone to take pictures, then do a write up on a topic such as this, when it's already done with repair manuals that can be purchased for a decent price.
