I think these 2 tools plus an inch pound torque wrench will be what you need.

have had my sticks out twice and changed the connector tubes with the last set of sticks. No special tools needed just torque wrenches. Check that you have one that can do 44ft lb for the connector tubes. I pulled out the tubes by hand, just pull and wiggle them side to side and they popped out once the nut and fuel line is off. The injectors just 6" pry tool for light pressure on hold down tab to lift it out, most of mine I could pull out by hand with the "pull and wiggle" technique.

Ive had mine out and the short prybar or an old worn out screwdriver bent at a little steeper angle with a torch does a great job. You can also leave the nut threaded on the connector tubes one round and pry on it to keep from booggering the threads if they're tough. Not a tough job just a little time consuming if you haven't done it before but everytime you get faster. Pay attention to the o-ring on the valve cover when you put it back on because if you bump it on something it can come out of the groove and will cause a bad oil leak.
