Default Removing the 7 & 8 coil packs

Big issue trying to remove the coil packs on 7 and 8. get them moving that little bit when twisting, but they just won't budge to get up!

I've even tried using pry wrenches and a crow bar! Wishing I had a slide hammer to try and rig on it.

I obviously don't know if the problem is on the spark plug or the rubber o-ring.

Help please! It's getting cold outside and I want (need) to get this done tonight.

Thanks!

Any silicon spray at hand or WD 40 will do in a pinch.

Talk about that grease sounds like it wasnt used last time they were removed that rubber can glue to those sparkplugs

Sounds like it!!!

My wife, the love that she is, went and got the grease and anti-seize while I removed the other 6.

try the silicone spray first I guess, got both.

Thanks!

Happened to me a few times the boot refused to come off a plug then pop it came free. Even the silicon wires can get glued to the plugs over time
