There is another bolt you can't see . But you can just bend the bracket up . This is the easiest way IMO . You can just leave the bracket bent up . You can't really see it with the coil packs reinstalled and will make it much easier the next time you need in there.

There is a bolt on the back of the head that needs to be loosened to get that bracket off. Reach your hand down the back of the bracket and you will feel the head of the bolt. It is tough to get to, but use a 15mm wrench and loosen the bolt a little and the bracket will slide up enough to get to the coil pack bolt. The bracket is slotted, so the bolt does not have to be removed, just loosened. There is a ground wire back there also that goes to another bolt, so make sure you are on the right bolt. If you remove the AIR tube, AIR tube hose and disconnect the hose coming from the AIR pump to the valve the bracket holds and unplug the hose going to the brake booster, it is a little easier to get to.

My recollection is that removing the driver's side is much easier than the passenger's side. Use a small box wrench. Long fingers and skinny arms are especially helpful.

I took off the top bolt that holds that bracket down, then used a big 3 foot long screwdriver to bend the bracket up out of the way. Had my coil packs off numerous times since then with zero problems.

Default Drivers side coil pack removal help!

I'm working on removing the drivers side coil pack to get some room to do some other work. The only problem I'm having is there is some sort of bracket connected to the backmost bolt! The bracket seems to move a little but I can't really get it to go up, so before I apply more force I'm wondering if any can tell me if that bracket is just tight or if there is another bolt that I can't feel connected to it?
