If the coils are working, you can put them back in. If you have a problem with one, just change it then. They're easy to replace.

If you go slow, then you shouldn't have any breaks. The 4.6L uses different plugs then the dreaded 5.4 plugs. When I pulled mine out, it was easy. I just didnt put a lot of torque trying to break them lose, and it seemed to help. Changed my plugs 3 times now, never a break. Good luck!

Also, make sure to not over torque them. They'll pull the threads when the aluminum expands.
