5. Remove the wiring harness connector from the ignition coil (2).

Note: Clean the area around the ignition coil before removal to avoid debris from entering the engine.

6. Fully loosen the bolt (1) attaching the ignition coil (2) to the camshaft cover.

Note: The ignition coil bolts are captive. Do not attempt to remove the bolts from the ignition coil.

7. Remove the ignition coil by first, twisting the coil to release it, and then pulling the ignition coil upwards to remove it.

Important: Do not use a sharp implement such as a knife to cut the ignition coil boot (1) from the ignition coil. Using a sharp implement may damage the ignition coil insulator (2).
