Default Fuel injector replacement instructions needed

I have rough idle, also this occurs when decelerating while driving(think letting off the gas while going down a hill). The Chevy dealer says its a bad injector(s). I talked to the folks at fuel injector connection, and have an idea of cost, the reccomend Bosch 3 rebuilds for my '93, LT1.
I have searched CF, but found no complete instructions. Step by step with pictures or a video would be awsome. What else needs to be removed? Any advice? Thanks!

Its a very easy job.I also have a 93 and last year bought the IIIs from Jon.He sent instuctions with the injectors. I have never replaced injectors before and had no idea how to do it. I also have the FSM for car but didnt need it. Dave

Hardest part is not spilling fuel out of the rails. You can do the job in less than an hour.

here's an excellent write-up w/ photos, by forum member "LT1*C4" posted back in 2009. pretty much used this to replace the injectors on my 96 LT1.

Nice write up but wouldn't you pull your fuel pump fuse and run it dry first to eliminate fuel pressure?

My FP gauge has a long tygon bube attached; I used that arrangement to depressurize through the Schraeder valve. It helps to have the front of the vehicle on a slight up slope, IMO.

same here with the FP gauge. I haven't re-read the thread lately, but I would also disconnect the battery, crack the gas cap, ditto on the slight up slope, and finally use a little common sense -
