Remove intake plastic tubing, unbolt top plenum, remove any hoses holding it down (because as it will leak coolant), unplug all plugs holding it from coming off completely, and once the top plenum is off, its a straight forward thing to do.

Remember you will need to drain coolant, run the car, remove fuel pump fuse, let it die, crank the car for 10 seconds and i think that should just about cover it :)

try leaving plugs on and unplugging spark lead for the cylinder. and looking for change.
i did this for my missus car, found out injector was working and spark was working but crack in head was the problem causing water getting in and having no compression, oil and water was not milky as an indercator either....
try a compression gauge..
either u can swap injector to another cylinder and see if it changes..

Milky water is cracked head or head gasket failure....ewwwww causing coolant and oil to mix.. not good bruz
you need to keep an eye on coolant levels as the head will empty first no the radiator being higher than rad
