Just finished this DIY at 42k.first plug change.thanks op for your inputs.

Heres some tips for those still apprehensive bout doing this.

1) if you don't have the puller tool,I used an old power cord and wrapped around then base of the coil,right below the connector.then just pull about 45 deg outwards. The coil will spin around and pop out. It was waaaaaay easier than I expected especially after reading about what a pita it was to do.

2) no torque wrench? The quarter turn past tight rule of thumb is pretty close. Kinda estimate the amount u needed to loosen the old plugs.

3) the plug on the passenger side nearest to the firewall needs to be threaded under the piping that's in the way. Just pull the piping gently to the right and bring the coil under it

Thats it! Real easy DIY and I really do feel the difference. Even my exhaust note sounds richer. It could all be in my head tho after working on the car, naturally the mind is looking for dividends.
