How difficult is it to replace the fuel injectors in a 1993 ford f-250 7.3 litre with a factory turbo? Also do you need to have special tools in order to be able to

Almost like changing spark plugs, but since the injector fuel lines are steel it is just a little harder. Also you have to replace the return lines while it is apart.
Having never done it before, you should figure on about 3 hours or a little less.
No special tools required, an air compressor is nice to have so you can blow any dirt out around the injectors before you remove them.
You may also need a pick to pull out the copper crush washers if they don't come out with the injector, but you can always make one out of a wire coat hanger if you don't have one.

be sure not to bend the steel fuel line to the separate injectors. just move them carefully out of the way enough to remove the injector. be sure to install a new crush washer on each injector and dont bump the bottom of the injector, it needs that little tip on the end. you will find one injector with an adapter on it (#1), you will need 2 5/8 wrenches to remove fuel line from that one. when you make the return lines, make one side at a time (duplicate the ones you take off as a set).
take your time and pay attention, you'll be okay.
