You do not need to remove the coil pack or disconnect the wires from the coil. I removed the IMRC only.
There is an excellent post (w/pics) that shows exactly how to do your plugs. All you need is 3/8 drive ratchet, a long (I used a 10") extension, a plug socket and a little duct tape. Tape the socket to the extension. Gap all the plugs before you start, its a 15 minute job.
Search around a little youll find the post I'm refering to.
