Would be a good idea to have a set of replacement injector seals on hand
just if case one tears or breaks. If they are  hard and brittle - just
replace anyway. Simple task., and the time to do it is when the
injectors are out anyway.

Just follow the Bentley on how to remove and test. As I recall, it's a
single 10mm bolt that holds the injector rack on each side of the
engine. It's located between the injectors. Remove the bolt, wiggle the
rack and the injectors should come free. They do not separate from the
rack. They are held on by large rubber rings, so not to worry.
