Can someone tell me how to remove the short section of fuel hose that
goes from the injector rail to the injector? It is about 1.5 inches
long, slips over an extension on the rail and is secured there with a
clamp.

But the other end of this hose is where I have a problem. It sits in
what looks like a metal cup protruding from the injector; I am not
familiar with this type of connection and do not
want to start pulling on it without any knowledge of it. The hose is
leaking at this end.

Also, can fuel hose from any auto parts store be used to replace it?

Just cut/dig the hose with a pointed exacto blade, it's a barbed metal pipe
and the cup just holds the hose at the end. But unfortunatly for you, I
highly doubt that this hose conection is the leak, it's much more likely
the metal pipe to the plastic leaking i.e. a bad injector.

No, it needs to be high pressure EFI hose. The cheap stuff they sell at the
parts store is for low pressure carb cars, even though the idiots there
will claim it's good for EFI as well. You can tell the good stuff as it's
not as soft and flexable.
