1. remove coils. (One step less than removing your plugs)
2. twist the rubber boot and carefully pull it apart. (You will separate the tube that contains the coil spring)
3. Use some Wrights metal polish or Brasso (available at a hardware store or even a supermarket)with a q tip and clean the round metal connection reccessed in the coil pack. It's about in inch in. Work the polish until the contact is shiny.
4. Use a moist q tip with some alcohol to clean any residue left by the polish.
5. Close the coil pack back up and reinstall.

Lalalalala. Hanshins don't fail, the new and redesigned for the 1999 model year Hanshins fail. I'm also wondering whether they actually redesigned them or whether it's the cars themselves that cause the coils to go. Every year max come with Hanshin plugs, 1995-199, and only the '99 have the problem.

Ok, so what year car did my Mitsu coils come off of? I got them used as part of a large package, so I have no idea.
Is there any cleaning that can be done to these Mitsu coils? It sounds like I could polish the piece inside the spring, but I can't seem to get the boot off.

Having read through all the posts in this thread I have one very important thing to add that nobody has yet mentioned.
If the Hanshin's are failing because they're not sealed right and cleaning them out will fix the misfiring then why don't you SEAL them up when you put them back together thereby eliminating the poor seal that allows moisture and dirt to seep through?!
SEAL THEM UP BEFORE YOU PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER! Use silicone or something, anything. Save yourself the trouble in the future of having to clean them out again and again.

damn... just waiting for that darn write up.... i was about to ask that same question about sealing the coils...u beat me to it.. 
i know ive seen black silicone being used on engine blocks before to seal air and exhaust manifold leaks and it holds up to the heat 100% no probs. ill ask my mechanic what the exact name of the product he used was.

Does anyone happen to have a Hanshin from the rear bank that is defective. I went to change My plugs this weekend and found a spark plug cavity full of oil. The oil ruined the rubber. I could use another long tube seeings how they come apart...
I also posted this in the classified, but thought there was alot of attention here just on this subject...

They pull apart quite easily. There is a lip at the bottom of the coil pack body and the rubber connector will hold it in place.
An alternative is to take a dremel with a small round bit and slight grind away the layer. Put electrolite connection lube on a q-tip and rub it on the contact after to seal it.
