I believe its EFI

First thing you do is get the pressure out of the system.  Find the harness that goes to your fuel pump and disconnect the plug (at the tank).  Then turn it over and let it die, then try and start it again.  This will get the pressure out.

Relieve the pressure like 4runnerchevy said and take off the mounting bolts.  The bottom bolt you will see it from the fender well, the top you have to feel your way from the top.  Once off loosen the two banjos and replace it.
