Subject:fuel line replacement

I thought I'd try my question a second time, with a little specificity:

I am about to replace many of the fuel lines and components of my high pressure fuel system (from fuel pump to engine).  It appears fairly straightforward and logical, and I have Bentley's pictures, but not much text to guide me.  I wondered if anyone has done this recently enough to offer any tips, cautions, etc., on removing and replacing the various components?

In particular:
removing and cleaning the air intake manifold runners, and replacing their gaskets
replacing the large diameter, short length rubber hoses on those runners
replacing all the high pressure fuel lines
cleaning out the intake air distributor
removing and reseating the injectors with new gaskets

TIA,
