Easy job.
Black cover off, injector pipes undone and moved out of the way, leak off pipes off, extra long injector 22mm socket, undo injectors, recover heat shields. New shields are required, A6010170060.
Refit is reverse of removal, note which way up the heat shields go. The centre sharp edge should abut the injector face.

As per dieselman's wise advice, plus;

Injector pipes 10 - 20 Nm
Injectors 40 Nm

It's usually worth replacing all the leak off pipe, and the bung in No 6, because when the pipe gets brittle with age, they leak fuel badly, and never seem to seal well once they've been taken off.

Also, you'll probably find the injector pipe clamps will break when you touch them - they aren't expensive.

If you use a standard deep 22mm socket, be very careful to avoid damaging the leak off pipe stubs - they aren't too strong.

Have you got the new injectors already? If not then get them from a Bosch distributor - much cheaper than from MB - the MB price is completely outrageous - I thought they had quoted me for a set - but it was each.

I had new nozzles fitted to my injectors, they were £200 for 6.
