Default Replacing Fuel Injector

Hi all, I am having a misfire in cyl. 6 I went through all the troubleshooting and found out that the resistance of that injector is 160ohms and the others are 14ohms. My question is can I just remove the front injector rail without touching the rear one?

Sorry, it is a lexus es300 1998, but I already did it so never mind. It was really easy by the way. The only problem was when I was putting them back in. Instead of setting the injectors in the rail while it was out I put them first in the engine and them screwed the rail on top of them, which ruined the top o-ring of the injector.

always in the rail first, but even before you do that, a very light coat of new engine oil on the o-ring will enable it to slide in easily...
