Can you give some pointers on doing this?

I really should clean mine but I'm kinda scared to mess with the injectors - I never had one out before. The procedures I read say you need to remove the fuel rail and injectors to get access to the EGR passages, right?

If I do it, should I replace the injector o-rings? Do I need to lube o-rings before installing, and with what? And exactly how do you get the fuel rail and injectors off? Removing screws is no problem, but what do you pull on to get things apart and do you have to pull straight up to avoid damage?
