Removing coil packs question.
I'm removing some parts in order to install the FLP headers. Just finished with the coils, and damn that was a big pita. Driver's side coil pack: the forward-most bolt took me close to 45 minutes to take off! There's barely enough room for the wrench to fit, so I could only turned the bolt maybe 10 degrees at a time. :mad Imagine how many revolutions it took to completely loosen the bolt, 10 degree at a time! Passenger's side: it's the rear-most bolt that has difficult access. Since each coil pack is retained by 4 bolts, I might just leave off these difficult ones when reinstalling, 3 out of 4 ain't bad. Perhaps I don't have the necessary tools? It's getting more exciting by the minute cuz I know I'm getting closer to the finish.

Re: Removing coil packs question. (Rapid Transit)
I have only removed the driver's side coil pack. To easily reach the most forward bolt, I backed out the bolt holding the alternator and then used a thin walled deep socket to reach the coil pack bolt. I hope this hint helps.
