Ignition coil connector rewiring

Hi all. I finally found some ignition coil connectors and they are coming tomorrow. I was wandering how difficult it is to replace these? Would just taking the wires out of the connector be easier than splicing the wires? If so how is that done? I know I seen it on here somewhere how to do that,but for the life of me I can't find it now lol. Thanks for any help. Some pictures would really be helpful!!

It's just a clip holding the wires in, no need to cut anything. Remove the 10 mm bolt, unclip the coil and pull it out. Put the new one in, plug the clip in and put back the 10 mm bolt.

What I meant was the ignition coil pigtail. The electrical connector on top of the coil pack. I'm changing two of those,not the coil pack itself.

Should be able to unpin the wires from the connector. Usually on the back side you can stick a pick or sharp object and release the wires and clips then slide them out. I'll look on Tuesday at mine if you don't have it done by then and let you know more if you are unsure.

Well I just received them in the mail. I am going to go look at the ones in the car and compare. I will be glad to have more instruction on how to do this. I'm kinda scared when it comes to the electrical stuff in the car lol.Thanks for the help.
