Oh, and i tried the trick to blow the cap off of the plug with the air line and it didn't work for me. Mayb i didn't have enough psi in the air tank.. Someone else try it and see if it works for you..	Qtip OFFLINE Platinum Max What ever! Posts: 6263 Thank you received: 1707

unplug the clip & use both hands best you can & twist push up on it.. Ur not going to hurt it.. & when you re install it make sur you push dow hard on it til you hear 2 or 3 clicks to make it set well on the plug.. I put air to it but no luck for me.. Good luck 2u!

To get the ignition coils on and off, I used a large flat head. You aren't gonna hurt them. I used a wash cloth in between the driver and engine/frame for leverage going both on and off.	medic981 OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 723 Thank you received: 340
