Default How do i pull out my injectors?

Hi Guys,
I have a 1996 ES300
I am wanting to pull my injectors out and have them professionally cleaned and balanced by an independent shop, How do I pull out the injectors? What is involved in this process.

Thanks

it gets them cleaned the best way possible and then it gets the injectors balanced within 1-3% of each other, that means the motor will idle smoother since the flow is almost the same on all cylinders.

You don't want to to that. Only pull the injector when it is clogged, then get them clean and balance.
I gotta ask this. How mechanially incline are you?
Can you changer the sparkplugs, wires on your ES300? I heard it cost more than $1000 to change the plugs and wires for ES300.
To get to the injectors, you have to take everything on top of the engine off i.e. more work than changing plugs for ES300.
If you don't know how to do this. Are you willing to pay someone $1000+ and the cost of clean, balance the injectors? Lexus injector may cost $100 or more each

I took the car into my local Toyota dealership and they said that they have to pull the intake off and then they will access to the injectors. The cost would be $400.00. I might have it done, I cant have my baby not running 100%
