Re: Removing the passenger side coil pack...
the reason i ask is because im gonna do my plugs again(been 35k miles)...i did it with the packs in last time and it was a PITA.
Just go at it like I said for a while, and when you do get it toss it out and u'll never have to worry again. The bolt is all the way in the back of the packs basically right in the middle. 10mm like the rest if I remember

Re: Removing the passenger side coil pack... lol, wanna know how to get the last coil pack bolt off?
I've got a pic of me laying across the engine so I have enough reach to get back there with a box end wrench.

Re: Removing the passenger side coil pack... Well, I used a 1/4 palm drive Snap-on ratchet without a problem. But with some extensions you shouldn't have an issue either.
xphantomxws6 mentioned removing the A.I.R. tubes "toss it out and u'll never have to worry again." This is an incorrect statement *IF* you are still running catalytic converters. The A.I.R. system is there to inject air into the exhaust stream which in turn helps "light off" the cats, getting them up to temperature faster, therefore putting the PCM into closed loop faster. It will only be on for up to 240 seconds at start up or until the PCM goes into closed loop (whichever comes first). Removing this system has NO gain to power.
Now if you do not have your cats, then there is no need for it.
Just an FYI.

Re: Removing the passenger side coil pack... I do believe that xphantomxws6 was referring to the last coilpack bolt on the passenger side. Assuming that's what he was talkin about, I completely agree. Mine went straight into the toolbox and I haven't thought about it since. The other 4 bolts are plenty to hold the packs on.
