Default Cylinder 2 misfire / cylinder 2 injector issue

Just had my LR3 return from catalytic convertor replacement and all was well until a sudden rough running idle and significant loss of power on acceleration. Codes pointed to fuel injector problem on cylinder 2.
As all persistent Land Rover owners are, I'm fairly handy repairing and maintaining this vehicle, but can't find a good video primer on getting the fuel rail removed for replacement. Also have seen others mention problems following the replacement.
Thanks for any assistance.

I'd start by ruling out a faulty coil if you haven't already done so. Clear the codes, swap the coil for cylinder 2 for another on the other bank and see what you get. May not do anything but it's a cheaper fix. Clean the MAF, replace PCV etc won't hurt. Probably won't help with your specific cylinder issue, but worth a try.

Thanks for the reply. Fingers and toes crossed, I replaced the #2 fuel injector; no codes and purrs like a kitten. I'll take a breather until my next mechanical adventure.
BTW, the Land Rover house wanted 380.00 per injector.
