Brian, it's is easy. I took a $8 grinder on sale at Harborfreight and a 3$ tall 7/16 socket 1/4 drive and came up with this disaster, but hey,it works. It was necessary to chop off a half inch from the bottom of the socket to fit under #5, the tightest one on my engine. That removed all six injectors. Then I saw the second pic at lowes for 3$ and it seems better. It is called 7/16 11mm universal socket and it has a hex head and hollow centre. You would just drill out the centre a little more and it will slide over the injector. maybe grind off some of the wall but it is almost perfect off the shelf. I can send my socket up to you gratis or you can make one. I needed to replace a copper sealing washer and two rubber washers. They are hard to find, I made them up. I was able torque wrench five of the six.
