DIY Plug Change BAD turn...
Hi,
Decided to tackle the DIY plug/coil change on my '08 4.8 (99k miles) today, and started with the evil rear driver's side to get the worst one out of the way first... Thanks to all of the helpful hints from others, I was able to get the coil off and out pretty easily. This had me a bit concerned as it pulled up off of the plug without much effort at all. Once I got it out of the hole it had oil around the end about an 1" high  Valve covers leaking like crazy! No sign of leaks on the outsides of the covers, but obviously a ton around the plug openings. Would this be a good time to do the Valve Stem Seals, while in there, as well? They aren't leaking (smoking yet) but figure it's just a matter of time. Thanks, John
