i just changed out the spark plugs this weekend, you don't need to remove the coil pack. I had to remove a bolt off it though, to remove one of those pieces that is attached to coil pack.. can't explain it but i took a picture so i'll try to post that up later to help those that haven't changed plugs yet.
you just need to pull the plug wires from the coil pack and move them around so you have enough room to access the spark plugs. you need an 8" extension.. i used a 6" and a 3" together. there's enough room to get there, the hardest challange is getting a good grip and pulling plug wires out by the boot. with patience it'll come out. you don't need small girly hands to be able to do this. it took me an hour or so to finish this, in the dark and in the cold.. so it's definitely doable. i encourage everyone to just try.
i'll try to post a link to pictures later if they help any.
also cleaned by throttle plate so it doesn't stick anymore.. what a difference it makes.
