I've seen several videos online, mostly for F-150 and those have the red clip. Mine doesn't. :/ I'm curious how to get the clip off as I don't want to break it. My replacement coils have a notch on the bottom it seems but the connector on my coils shows a little notch on the top. See image. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Got it :) At the very back of the clip on the bottom just pinch and it releases.

What I usually do is spray them with wd-40 first if they have that red clip, it slides on out way easier then with your thumb on the top side and forefinger on the bottom, give a pinch and push towards the coil first then outwards. It’s very hard to put into words and I instinctively wanted to grab the connector that you took a pic of lol. Just be patient and nothing will break.
