Changing my spark plugs tomorrow. Don't want to hurt the coil packs.

Can anyone let me know if the coil packs pop right out after
you unscrew the holding bolt?

Do you need to pull, wiggle, jiggle, or be overly careful
in anyway not to damage them?

Where do you handle them? At the square part or at the round
base?

Any other tricks to watch for?

    The just pull right out.

    When you put the new ones in, start them by hand. Using the extension and the plug socket, with plug installed, lower the plug into hole and begin screwing it in BY HAND. DO NOT use the ratchet or it could become cross threaded. You cannot put your fingers down the hole.

    Once the plugs are screwed into the holes, then tighten them normally.

      It was pretty easy!!

      Although I must go back and replace the
      wire loom as this stuff disintegrates
      just by touching it.
