It's worth it to me to jack the car up to go up from the bottom to change #8. Never tried unbolting coil packs though.

Yeah, that way. I took a look from underneath the motor and don't see how others are getting #8 from under. Maybe if you have headers, but not with stock exhaust.

Find a short wrench for the rear nut on the coil rail, be patient. And when you put everything back together that PITA (pain in the ***) rear nut on the coil rail can be left off.

Earlier models have individual coils, not on a rail/bar.
