I found some $64.99 shipped warrantied and tested. I feel much better about this than remanning them myself.

Yeah, not worth trying to recondition injectors yourself. I tried, and failed miserably. Either replace pintle caps, filter basket, and o-rings for maintenance, or get a reman set if yours aren't working. The price new is crazy, like $90 a pop.
I'd use a breaker bar on the head bolts, they're not that difficult.

Thanks though, this is normally the type of thing I like to do.

With a steel bolt in an aluminum block and threads, I would not use an impact.
The steel will gall and bind in the aluminum without anti-sieze. If you spin the bolt quickly with an impact, you run the risk of pulling threads out with the bolt.
Where as with a breaker bar, breaking it loose slowly gives the threads more chance to break free from each other.

If the block was iron, I wouldn't be concerned about an impact on head bolts.
