I use a 1/4 drive socket set with some extensions and i usually dont have a problem getting the bolt out.

BTW, I know I changed it to italic, but I dont know how. My finger missed the shift key and bam, its italic. There thats better
Ah okay. So you just unscrew the bolt and the coil pack comes out? Then I can insert the new one and screw back on the bolt?

BTW, Where is the fuel rail...and what's a COP?
Sorry, I'm such a noobie with autos.

the COP is what youre calling coil pack. its the thing with the yellow sticker on it. the fuel rail is the tubes running above the COP. And yes, using an 8mm socket, unscrew and disconnect old COP and replace with new being sure to use dielectric grease in the boots.

Well that sounds easy!

Oh and what does dielectric grease in the boots mean?

It's all good. I really appreciate your help!

But I'm still confused, what do I do with the boots again? Put grease on them? Is it called dielectric grease? ...Do I just ask for dielectric grease or something? lol

yes, just ask an associate at the parts store, or at the dealership, for some dielectric grease, and you will squirt that into the boot itself.

Although my coils don't have the yellow top on it, I've located where they are. I'm headed to Auto Zone now to use their Loan a Tool service(Since I doubt I have the tools in my house). I'll report how it went later. If you don't hear from me again, I did something horribly wrong and the truck may have exploded..
