Default injector troubles

was driving around in my newly purchased 2001 cherokee today and #3 injector went south on me. It has 67000 miles on it. Also just added some Chemtool injector cleaner to a tank of gas.Had to drive home on 5 cylinders.Are these hard to change or clean, and should i just change them all ?

Are you sure the injector is bad, #3 injectors are common to get hot on 2001 xj's and cause a misfire condition. If the injector is still working correctly and you shield it you may not need to replace it.
