How difficult is it to replace ignition coil for cylinder #2?

I feel reasonably competent working doing maintenance items (e.g. oil change,
pad change, etc.) and slightly more ambitious stuff (e.g. installed RSB, installed and removed Injen intake, etc.). However I avoid the complicated stuff (e.g. UDP, etc.).

I have the ESM and its not clear what section describes replacing an ignition coil. It seems like its just a matter of 1) removing the plastic engine cover, 2) identify the right coil, 3) replace, 4) reverse 2 and 1. I'm guessing that the battery cable should be removed but I'm not sure about anything else.

Any directions? How do identify the #2 cylinder coil?

Thanks for the link. I owe Greg a few times over now (I used his Stillen RSB write up as well as his Injen install).
