its cool. for yours, you have to take the coils off the plug boot. they are held on by a 7 or 8 mm bolt. once you get those off, you should be able to pull the wire off the plug. then you will need a plug socket to remove the plug

He will - it's not that bad once you get into it

Bryguy - you don't have to disconnect the supply and return lines on the fuel rail - just take the four 8mm bolts out of the rail and flip the rail up ontop of the manifold.

Just incase you didn't realize this yet
