Ignition coil removal tool

Prior to beginning work on the vehicle, be sure to allow the engine to completely cool down. This is going to greatly assist in the removal process. The ignition coil is connected to the sparkplug by a spark plug boot which is essentially something like a very short ignition wire. Older vehicles are commonly equipped with one ignition coil, a distributor and ignition wires ignition leads that connect to each individual spark plug. Once access is gained to the spark plugs it is a good idea to change one spark plug at a time, in order to prevent mixing up the components.

If you just start pulling on boot or wire before loosening it from the spark plug, it frequently breaks and part of the spark plug boot remains on the spark plug. This instance would make spark plug removal difficult as the spark plug socket typically does not fit over the remaining part still attached to the top of the spark plug. Once the spark plug boot is removed the area around the spark plug should be cleaned using compressed air to prevent any loose debris from falling inside of the cylinder head.

Sometimes there can be engine oil or engine coolant sitting around the spark plug. If engine coolant is collecting around the spark plugs it is typically caused by leaking coolant or heater hoses, or potentially even an intake gasket only on some vehicles.

In either case, any such issue must be corrected prior to spark plug replacement as it will lead to engine misfire and damage to the spark plugs and boots. If this is not an issue then unscrew each spark plug carefully using the spark plug socket.

Spark Plug Installation. All Brisk Spark Plugs are pre-gapped in the factory but it is crucial that you verify that gap specifications are met for your particular application so using the spark plug gap gauge , check the gap between the ground and center electrodes to ensure that the gap is correct.

You always want to perform this task before installation unless specifically advised not to by the manufacturer. Always follow the recommendations of the spark plug manufacturer.

Before installing the new spark plugs, apply a thin layer of spark plug anti-seize to the threads of the new spark plug. This will ensure a smooth thread installation and easy removal on your next spark plug replacement.

You want to also apply a small amount of spark plug dielectric grease to the porcelain insulator head. This will ensure an air-tight seal between the boot or wire and the new spark plug and also prepare for an easy boot or wire removal during your next replacement. I just tie mine up to an engine hoist and jack them out. They weigh about 97lbs each.

Anything you can loop under and pull on should do it. Schwaben makes one that looks like this. It's easy just wiggle em out with your fingers, no tools needed. When should one replace the CP?

I'm at 43k. Just replaced my plugs today. The coilpacks came out real easy. Toughest part of the whole job was moving the coolant expansion tank out of the way - the rear two parts that stick out and hold it in place were tough to disengage. Originally Posted by ringsroc.
