So what's the trick to disconnecting the electrical thingy that the coil leads attach to? (attached to the fuel rail) I read somewhere they have some clip mechanism but boy it sure seemed like it was hidden and tricky to get at with high risk of loosing the clip, etc...

Did you just pull the entire fuel rail to get clearance for the valve covers to come out?

I still want to know although, I paid my indy to change mine. I just hate not knowing how it's done.
