Thanks Weasel. I knew how to do the other one, having pulled plugs many times on the race car, etc. w/the nut that holds the plastic cover. This being different and it being late at night (I didn't post until the next afternoon when I was slacking off at work), I wanted to be sure.
The coils are just held on by friction too in the N62 motor, so no more nuts to drop into the nether regions of the vehicle. Nice!
The thermostat change should be fun too...<sigh> Looks like a hand scratcher.
