I will have to revisit it soon but i need another method to remove coil. I see the OEM tool has a simple yet effective design that gives you the leverage to pop the coil pack. I wont be spending $300 on it however. So I have to come up with another means of tackling this last coil. Or go back to gym and work on my finger strength lol. Any ideas folks?
OK so I came up with a simple way to remove last coil using M Division coil puller and a couple hand tools. See photo for reference
Basically used a 21mm wrench and a socket to provide some leverage to remove the coil. Pretty much the way the factory tool works. |
Thanks, this was a great idea and an invaluable suggestion! For those who don't have a 21mm or similar sized wrench, a very large set of adjustable pliers can be used as a replacement and locked down around the Division M puller. Use a tall socket or scrap piece of wood as a substitute. Both of the rear coils came out in under 60 seconds each for me using this method.
