Hi,

As far as tools, there is a coil remover/install tool that is needed. If you look at pic 1 below, it shows what one looks like. Note the thread is a right-hand thread. This is to loosen the coil. The same tool with a left-hand thread is used to tighten it.

As far as removing the spark plugs, you need a standard spark plug socket (5/8"), an extension, and a ratchet.

If you look at the pics below, starting with pic 2, the directions for coil removal and replacement are there along with pics. The remaining pics explain how to replace the spark plugs.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
