I just did it the other week and used 2 screwdrivers to get the coils off it was very easy if you just take your time. The tool is nice and I would buy one but it is not needed.

They will be back up on Amazon this week. There was some issues with a supplier that have now been fixed.
Until then BPM does indeed have them in stock...for now... |

bicycle cone wrench to pop coils
+1 for the old suggestion of using a 15mm single-ended code wrench, which I already had in my toolbox. You'll want a single-ended wrench instead of the more common double-ended wrench since it will be longer so you can use it as a lever. I taped various sized sockets under the middle of the wrench as a fulcrum, depending on which cylinder i was working on, and then it looks a bit like the BMW factory tool that looks like it has a sliding fulcrum.

Just picked one up off Amazon. If you have an Amazon Prime account then 2-day shipping is free. Mine should arrive Friday. Current price is $30. Less than half the price BPM wants for them on their site at $70 plus shipping
EDIT: Just checked shipping on the BPM site for the heck of it. $17.47 is the cheapest option. Granted I'm on the other side of the country but ouch. So the choice should be clear: Buy from Amazon at 30% of the cost through BPM. |

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.

7/8 I removed by hand the last one however was a pita so I needed some mechanical advantage to get it out. Next time around it may come.out by hand but for those who run into the same issue it's a method that worked for me in less than a second.
