bws,
I have a .pdf file with the instructions from Diesel Dynamics for injector install.
If you have an email address, pm me and I can send it to that.

My injector experience:
1)19mm Stubby wrench is perfect for injection line nuts-- you can't overtighten them
2) Loosen the clamps that hold the lines to the engine, not to each other (the DD instructions you received show which ones to loosen)
3) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the injector retaining bar screws (the little 8mm ones). Those screws will break. Tq spec is in INCH pounds. A stubby ratchet works good for these.
4) When you are buttoning it back up, snug the injector retainers and the injection line nuts alternately. You want your final snug to be the inj line nuts (19mm)
5) Work slowly and methodically. You can take off the lifting eye at the back of the engine and leave it off (throw it in your toolbox and thread the bolts back into the engine).
6) Start at the back, doing the hardest parts first and leave the easier parts till last. That way, as you get tired and frustrated, the toughest parts are behind you.
