It's not hard. I swapped mine out in November. I took my time, painted the IC tubes, replaced GP's, installed new dipstick, cleaned the radiator, replaced the water pump, put in Swamp's tuner, and tested my injector harness...all in 8-9 hours. But I've done it before, so as long as you're not trying to rush, you'll be fine.

its not hard, there right under vc, just make sure your careful when your putting the orings on new ones, and careful when installing them so you dont cut or rip the orings, but if you have the money, and you want to, install new glowplugs since you have it all apart already

its not too bad, driver side is easy, soooo start on the passanger, you'll need an extenstion and a wobbly to get the middle ones, thats the hardest part

there is info on the internet on how to keep from getting hydrostatic lock in your motor when changing injectors make sure to follow these guide lines on how to remove the oil from the cylindars before installing and cranking over the motor. anyone please feel free to correct me on this practice if exuburant and unnessesary but I did follow these gudelines when changing mine because if what they say is true it will cost a fortune and I felt that it is always better to be safe than sorry.
