Taking Coil Packs Off

[charg1n]

hey ive just been using the online tutorial for changing spark plugs....

This is the first time ive ever changed spark ;lugs and it is quite helpfull.

But i cant pull out the coil pack and cradles!!!! I did what it said and undid the 7 bolts but they wont budge. They are loose and i can move them from side to side but they wont come out.

How do i do it?? are they supposed to easily come out or do you have to pull them hard??? Im in the middle of doin it right now so and immediate help would be much appreciated. I didnt want to pull too hard in case i broke something as i have never done this before but i did pull them pretty hard.

Thanks

All that is wrong is that the rubber surrounds on the coils have a bit of a grip on the tops of the spark plugs.

Just pull harder - you won't break anything.

When i changed my plugs i noticed they were a little tite on the plugs, so i just lifted them up one at a time, like undo the 7 bolts, and lift up the front coilpack, then lift the other two up on the angle. Only a slight angle, it helps to crack the seal.

Check that all the plugs are back on the coils properly. And check you haven't bent a pin on the coil connection.
