Well the injectors came in today. Turns out that Bosch injectors don't come with o-rings, so I'm glad I bought them separate.
The bad news is that I cannot get the old injectors out. I first started with the screw driver method. That led nowhere. Then, against my better judgment, I went for the vise-grips. That simply led to a chipped injector (luckily it was not functionally damaged). With the vise-grips out of the question, I then went back to the screw driver method. Again, that didn’t work. I then tried to cobble together something that would fit into the two small recesses on the injector head but was unable to make anything sturdy enough.
With all other options gone, I decided to just remove the fuel rail. However, as luck would have it, the end of the rail closes to the firewall was hanging up on something I could not locate. Completely frustrated at this point, I simply put the car back together. Now I have the pleasure of paying someone to do a job so simple that I should have been able to do it with my eyes closed.
