You have to pull the plenum, unbolt the injectors, pull fuel intake and exit
lines and pull the fuel rail. To remove the hoses, I slit them with a
utility knife and then used a soldering iron to melt the hose out of the
collar at the end of the slit. Replacing them is a matter of buying
replacement hose (by the foot) and cutting to the right length and then
pressing them back into the collar. While you have it apart, replace the
injector seals (2 per injector).

I had mine cleaned by Marren Motorsports:
