The coil packs are held on by a nut and stud inboard of the coil pack.

Oh, I get it. Yeah, they can have a grip. They must have been on there a while. Just pull straight up from the plug. The ones on my Hemis had what felt like a bit of suction. I wiggled 'em loose and just put steady upward pressure on. A small shot of WD-40 or PB Blaster might help.

Pull straight up and put your back into it.
