Fuel injector replacement procedures? Best place to buy new?
Ive come to the conclusion without any actual tests that the injectors or a injector is trashed as I have done everything else and there is obviously some leak down. Gas smell in cabin almost constantly...sometimes it's ok and others it's not.
Any tips on how to replace these and where I might buy would be greatly appreciated.

Removal is straightforward; totally intuitive once you look at the situation. Disconnect injector plugs. Disconnect fuel pipe fittings at fuel rail, remove fuel rail hold-down bolts, wriggle fuel rail off inlet manifoled. Take to workbench, remove inejector retainer clips (press-on type), remove injectors from rail. That's the gist of it. Others might add sme finer points that I've forgotten.
Try this outfit for injectors. Dave is a great guy. I've done business with him several times. Last time he fixed me up with some new injectors for my XJR. If you can do without the car for a few days just send him your injectors for testing.

I got great service from WitchHunter Performance - Injector Cleaning & Flow Testing Services who restored my old seized TR7 injectors.

I went ahead and bought 6 new injectors and 6 sets of o rings for them. I think after these are installed, I'm going to have a used parts sale. In the past less than two months, I've:
Replaced all coils
Replaced spark plugs
Oil change
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator
Shocks and bushings
Air temp sensor
Coolant temp sensor
Iacv
Crank sensor
Exhaust manifolds
Cats
All 4 o2 sensors
Cleaned maf and throttle body
Brake switch
Starter
right upper ball joint
A-frame bushings
In the last year or less:
New battery
Thermostat
Tires
Rear brakes
Belts
Ac pulley bearings
New rims
New headliner
Nev sunroof seal
Still have to install new washer reservoir and bits and drain and fill the tranny. Replacing the gear shift assy mostly for cosmetic reasons. Renewing the cpms cover. Reinstalling the cruise control pin and clips. Possibly tackling the clock and temp displays sometime during the winter
Ugh. Haha
EDIT: Forgot a few things I did within the past year....
new stereo and door speakers
headlamp bulbs
re-attached third brake light
replaced armrest with x308 version that was recovered to match....installed matching latching
repaired boot hinge wiring
valve cover gaskets and o-rings
