Yes the injectors don't screw into the head, they are held in by a couple of rubber seals, these seals go hard over time and the injectors are then difficult to pull out.
You do have to pull hard or even better make/get something to lever them out but make use they come out straight or you can damage them.
If you are just wanting to replace the fuel line you need to hold them still with 1 spanner and undo the fuel line with another, crows feet spanner are better but if you don't have any go carefully as you don't want the round them off.
picture of injector, I guess you have this type if you don't have a air hose going between cylinders 3 and 4, this type only has 1 rubber seal later injectors have 2 seals.
