Your standard e-torx bits and metric socket set should be fine.

The injectors are not that hard at all to get in and out once you do a few... sometimes you just need to wiggle them a bit and they pop out, they are seated in with a bracket so refitting them is no big deal, just need to make sure you put them back in the ones they came out.

I don't think you should have to remove the injectors to change the valve cover gasket though.
