Yes, you will need to remove them.  Ken Wilford has a great video on
replacing these hoses (and all the others): www.vanagain.com.  I have no
idea where to find it though. Ken?

Subject: Advice on replacing injector hose please...

Hi,

I noticed a slight gasoline odor coming from the driver side rear vent on my
87 Westy. Long story short, there's a small crack in the fuel hose from the
fuel manifold to the injector on cylinder 3.

Obviously I need to replace that hose (put all new hoses when Boston Bob
rebuilt the engine five years ago). My question is do I need to remove the
injectors from the head to facilitate replacement, or can it be done with
the injectors in place?

Any other suggestions or tips greatly appreciated.
