Hi. I've replaced my right inlet manifold so I know exactly what you're going through.
As for splitter the rear most injector, I think I ended up using an adjustable spanner on the 25mm nut. The angle was tricky but it was possible. I didn't fancy lifting the engine. There was a post recently about splitting the injectors.
Once that's done, you're on to the manifold itself. Just lots of small bolts. At the front end, there something that fouls the manifold removal, can't remember but I think it is the brake vacuum pump. I tried to leave that in place and manoeuvre the manifold around it but it just wasn't possible. In the end, undid the mounting bolts, some of which are hidden underneath the unit, think there were 3 in total. You do not need to remove the brake vacuum pump fully, just leave it sitting there loosely and the manifold will come out.
Good luck!
