No, like I tell everyone who asks, just lay a few rags down. I remove the injectors completely. No nuts or bolts there and there's no need to replace O-rings. It goes so quick after I pop the rail, I don't have any pics of it. It is allot quicker. I pull the manifold on the 98 with a plug change, that takes a little longer, but that 98 eats manifold gaskets.

I just replaced #7 with the rails on. I had to use 2 extensions to torque it which I guess was bad but I went to 30 ft lbs to be on the safe side. To clean it out I fist taped a hose to a shop vac hose then to an air nozzle to get the hole cleaned out and the little slots around the manifold that hold dirt, water, etc. I tried to pull on the injector rail but it was kind of hard and I didn't want to mess anything up so I aborted.

You could probably change your brake pads without removing the tire, but it wont be fun.
