trying to follow these directions to a tee, & I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head!

for starters, I can't figure out how to remove the wiring harness/brackets from each injector - it looks like they should pull off, but I don't want to force anything. It's a 93 4.0 (- trying to post a picture of the engine but I can't figure it out..). I'm sure it's really easy but when it comes to working underneath the hood I'm like a bull in a china shop...
also, IF I make it to the new gasket phase of this, which side of the APN gasket goes towards the motor? one side has slightly bigger metal edges around the holes. Also, exactly what type of copper gasket sealer do I use? I picked up some Permatex UltraCopper High Temp RTV Silicone, but should I have picked up the spray instead?
Lastly, I picked up the tap & die tools..looks like fun, but specifically, how does one go about the tapping and die-ing process?
Sorry for all the stupid questions :tear:
