Not terribly hard. Hold the body in a vice with soft grips, then use a wrench to thread the tip off. I'm not sure of the exact torque though. When they get pop tested, and need to be adjusted, they have to be disassembled anyway. May be easier to let the diesel shop do it all.

Pop testing is the amount of pressure that is needed for the injector to open.
