Maybe this link from the 6.0 Tech Folder sticky will help: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ml#post4355612

Great link Steve!
here are a few "miscellaneous" tips:
Replacing injectors is a lot easier when you remove the passenger wheel well and (on the drivers side) take the degas bottle out. Once you get the valve covers off, it's pretty easy. Make sure you clean out the injector hold down clamp holes with some q-tips or similar, otherwise you won't get them torqued correctly and will probably end up doing it again.
6.0 Injector Removal/Installation:
It should be noted that injector serve on the 6.0 is different than on the 7.3. No air tools should be used in removal or installation of the injectors to prevent damage to the injector. A T-40 Torx bit with a minimum shaft length of 2" is require to ensure proper torque of the injector (24 ft/lbs) and to prevent the drive tool from contacting the injector and damaging it. New o-rings and combustion seals should be used any time an injector is removed. Care should be taken when installing the high oil pressure rail to prevent damage to the upper injector o-rings.

Yes i agree with mark totally. Also check for streched rail bolts. I have had them break because of this. It is obvious when they are too. Start in work way out with 120inlbs for rail t30torx. You also MUST replace the case to head tubes. If not you will have a HP oil leak.Your truck is an 07 so i think they have the updated tubes with hex head not square head. Make sure you get ones with hex head they are updated ones and actually the long tube that connects to the branch tube connects together unlike the old style.60ftlbs on them. Also will need a new crankcase vent oring the little green one

The high-pressure stand pipe is a two piece pipe that is sealed to the high-pressure rail and high-pressure branch by o-rings.
The stand pipe has a check valve inside to limit hydraulic disturbance (feed back from injector operation).
Do not disassemble the highpressure stand pipe. This will cause damage to the internal components of the pipe. If at any point, a stand pipe is disassembled, discard and replace it.
