Vq35 Injector removal

I need to remove the injectors on my vq35, but cant find a write up anywhere. Search is down, and I googled it with no luck. If anyone knows how to, or of a write up on how to remove the fuel rail and injectors please let me know, I think this may be the cause of my p0300

It's simple for the VQ35.

1. Pull intake manifold. (there are write ups for this all over the place)
2. Disconnect injector pigtails
3. remove 4 bolts that hold fuel rail into lower manifold
4. Remove clips that hold the injectors to the fuel rail.
5. pop out injectors from the fuel rail.

Ya I'm fine with the IM, Iv never taken the injectors out, I just didn't want to go in blind
So here's what I do after I'M removal:
1)pull fuel system fuse and start car til it stalls a couple times
2)unplug injector connectors
3)un bolt fuel rail
4)unclip fuel rail from injectors
5)pull injectors out of LIM
Correct?
What's the best product to clean these things?

yourself? dont see the point in going through the hassle. if your going to get them cleaned and setup right and properly flow tested rc engineering in torrance ca is a recommendation.

Best way to clean is a sonic cleaner, but, if you're going to remove them, might as well do what Cant_Get_Ryte said.

Pretty sure they aren't the cause of the p0300.

Yea, forgot to tell you about pulling the fuse. I usually don't but it usually results with gas in your eyes... Not fun. Lol.

Haha thanks for the suggestion but it's my dd and I'm in Ontario, Canada. I don't think them being faulty or dirty is the cause, I remembered trying to yank them out in a rush 2 weeks ago without pulling the fuel pump fuse... Oops, so I just pushed it back in and forget about doing it completely, finally remembering last night. I thought not being seated properly may cause the p0300. Is it really that difficult?
