There is no need to take out each individual fastener on the fuel injectors! Just unscrew the 2 10mm bolts holding the junction box in place and pop it off all at once. It is easy to re-install that way to. Save yourself some headache!

I wish I had known about this when I did my valve covers. I must have spent 8 hours wrestling with those wretched fuel injector retaining clips!

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. I'm in the exact same situation as you - doing this job "by the book" with the injector clip removal method is just sheer misery, so I'm anxious to see if the "easier" method really works.
