Division M coil pull tool
I can't thank the guy enough that developed this tool. I ordered one on Amazon and used it today to change my plugs. Great job my friend!

Did all 8 in about an hour and half. Including time to run across the street to get the correct spark plug socket. Thought my n54 socket would work. Luckily S65 uses a standard size. First time doing plugs on the M. |

The passenger side back was hard to get with the leverage from my fingers but it finally popped loose. I think the coat hanger method would work but at the price of the coils I didn't want to risk it.

This helps a lot in regards to getting a socket in there. You'll still need a standard 3/8 swivel and some other extensions.
Just figure out how to get your fingers in there for maximum leverage. It's not impossible at all. http://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-805...ilpage_o00_s00

FWIW, I broke the top of my coil using the division-m puller. This was on the passenger front coil too, the easiest one to get to..pulling straight out. The coil is still functional, will have to replace next time I change plugs.
I'll just assume it would have broken with any method though, since I didn't have issues with even the harder two plugs, passenger and driver side back plugs. Tool seems worth it to me. |

I've got one and have used it. It's great. $30 isn't bad especially when mods for this car are in the thousands.

Yea love mine, works way better than coat hanger especially for the back plugs. Gives plenty of room to grip by hand and pull

Ordered one a while back when I did the plugs on mine. Worked like a charm.
The plastic covers over the coils are what sucked...fragile little things.

Oh yea when I supercharged I tore those out with Glee lol. So much easier without them in the way.

just replaced my spark plugs with this tool (by the way, the tool is incredible. I would never have gotten the coils off without it). Do the new plugs need any time to "break in"? Should the car run better right away, or does it need to adapt to the new plugs? Took the car for a drive after I changed them, and noticed a lot more exhaust backfire (I am fully catless). Is that normal?

i couldn't find one available when i did my plugs so i ended up taking a grinder to my windshield wiper puller tool "otc 4676" and the result worked extremely well. the 'U' is exactly the right width for the coils, but i had to thin down the legs just a little with the grinder as they were a little thick to fit. (basically sanded maybe 1mm off the bottom of the tool). remove the threaded part and it makes a nice handle on top of the coil.

I too have one of these coil pullers and really appreciate using it when in a rush. Great $30 spent.
Though using a wiper arm puller is also pretty clever... |

it would fit before grinding it, but i felt the prongs were just a hair too thick. the pre-grinding fit was pretty snug which means i was already needlessly putting tension on the areas which would be most prone to braking. i took off maybe 0.5 to 1.0 mm of material from the bottom of the puller. i went until the fit was such that it had very little slop but was no longer pre-stretching the neck of the coil's puller attachment.
here is a pic of it ready to remove a coil: here is the puller attached to a removed coil. note: i did not leave the threaded screw down part in for most of the plugs as it just gets in the way. here are some pics detailing where i removed material and the end thickness of the prongs. also worked pretty well when i discovered the prior owner had damaged a coil but left it in the car, i used a bolt and a washer + the wiper puller and was able to removed the damaged coil. (note: i did *not* break this coil, nor did i break any other coils. someone misread in another thread and assumed i broke some coils...). edit: resized from gigantunormous to reasonable.
