Default you need no guide...

unscrew the fuel rails and lines pull out the whole thing with the plugs. Will look like a spider, then pull clips and take out the injectors and put in new ones. pretty easy

Default step by step ...

1. start car

2. remove fuse for fuel pump (see owner's manual for fuse #. on my '95 it's #13)

3. wait for engine to die (signaling that fuel pressure has been relieved).

4. disconnect negative battery cable (to prevent an accidental explosion).

5. disconnect fuel lines from fuel rail (have a rag handy to absorb spillage).

6. disconnect rubber hose from fuel pressure regulator.

7. remove the 4 screws that hold the fuel rail in place.

8. disconnect electrical connectors for fuel injectors.

9. lift fuel rail. injectors will lift along with rail.

10. replace injectors and then do 1-9 in reverse.
