    Okay did something stupid, broken tab

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Decided to change my spark plugs in 26 degrees. Upon doing so, I snapped the tab to remove the harness to the coil pack. Thinking I learned my lesson, I proceeded to try another one and snapped a second tab. Anyone know how to remove the plug from the coil pack I know ecs sells a tool for this but in 191k miles at 5k intervals, I have done this several times. Guess they were due to break at some point. Tks gang.

    You can stick a very thin screw driver in the other end and pull the connector off.It works kinda like a flap.

    Ah, tks, figured it was something like that but after breaking 2, decided to wait and hear.

    Will give that a shot, so small flat head, I the square slot and then slide the connector off, yes.

    I stick tiny flat heads or picks in the side furthest from the thumb clip, and then leave it in there while I am removing the clip. Works every time.
