[W126 Coupe] What tool for fuel injectors

I'm going to be replacing the idle air distribution hose and #8 fuel
injector seal and, since I'll be taking off the valve cover to make it
easier, I'll also be replacing the valve cover seal. Last time I did
then I was home and had the benefit of all my tools and a nearby dealer,
this time I'm down in college. Here is a list of what I think I need, I
need someone to check this list and also tell me what size tools I need
since I'll just be buying what I need. The car is a 1985 380SE.

1 - valve cover gasket
4 - valve cover bolt crush washers (or is it 6?)
1 - fuel injector seal
1 - fuel injector holder

To remove the line going to the injector I need a wrench that fite on
the line at the distributor, the line at the injector, and the injector
itself to hold it in place. Anybody know what sizes these are? Also,
what size are the valve cover bolts? And how about the allen bolt that
holds down the fuel injector? Also, I'll be doing this without a torque
wrench (too expensive for me to buy a duplicate of that), but does
anybody know what the torque specs are and how tight thing should feel?
Thanks,
Richard
