i think the metal part slides out perpendicular to the injector then you can pull the injector off, not 100% though. might want to wait for someone else to comment

You have to cut it off with a sawzall... Be careful not to damage the injector o-rings or not to punch a hole in the intake manifold.

Dry Kill had it right, the Metal retaining clip slides out then it'll pop right off..

its easy, get a small flat tip screwdriver on the closed side of the clip, and it will slide right over.

Cut it off with a torch. Be sure to spray it with brake cleaner while you cut.
