Undo the bolt holding the fuel rail
and then pull up. Be careful orings dont stick in the rail or in the intake manifold. Installing new injectors is made easier by putting a thin coat of petroleum jelly on the oring.

My tips
If you can. Let the car sit for a while. Give the fuel pressure time to have gone. And spilling a big of gas all over a hot engine makes some nice fumes.
Have a towel ready for the spillage.
Be sure no rings get stuck in the rails as you pull up. Fish them out with a toothpick or something that won't mark the smooth surface to the cups - because the rings need to seat against them.
Cups can be sharp. Be sure not to cut a ring as you set everything down and push. Be patient, use some petrolium jelly on the rings.
