How hard is this to do....can't seem to find anything on this

You mean the o-ring?

The injectors are just held in to the fuel ring pipe with a clip.

You'll lift out one bank or side at a time. It's worth replacing both, upper and lower o-rings while in there. It has been some time since I replaced ours, but one side was particularly challenging to access(passenger maybe). Make sure you note or scribe the depth at which the o-ring and injector is set into the head. There is another ring slot that the seal can go on which might screw up the setting. Other then that, its fairly straight forward. The task took me the day, but I'm getting old. You'll be surprised how much better the car runs(and starts) afterwards.
