Well had a productive weekend installing headers and some other things now its time to put it back together and i cannot get the coil pack grommet out! Ive tried everything i can think of, long screw drivers, air nozzle, clothes hanger bent into a hook. Now the grommet is all tore up...

Any ideas other than pulling the head off? FML!

P.S. In the market for a used oem coil pack.

 

Vacuum?

 

It's really stuck in there I don't know if it'll work or not and my vacuum sucks(no pun intended). I may try to get a spark plug socket on the plug and get it out. If some rubber pieces fall into the cylinder how badly could that turn out lol?

 

pics?

 

I can try to get some here in a bit. Im getting a pair of really long needle nose tomorrow to try. I hope they fit down into there.

 

Got lucky and got it out by stabbing it with a screw driver and carefully guiding it out. Crisis averted! Thanks all.

 

This is in the stickys. Put crazy glue on the stalk, put it back together. Drink 1 beer, pull coil out with everything glued together.

 

I had to pull mine out two days ago with a hook pick with a sharp end. It stabbed through and pulled right out. This happened to three of my coils.

 

I actually damaged my grommet and couldn't reuse it. Should've checked the stickies I'm sorry.

 

My rubber boots are stuck as well in three cylinders. Once I pull them glueing helps??....also have misfire in third cylinder bc there was oil in there....I changed the valve cover since and cleaned out oil as much as I can...kept the old spark plug and coil pack...still get misfire now....should I check spark plug and coil...or just one or both?...trying to avoid buying new coil..

 

Replace the plug...check the coil...or swap it with another coil..
