Hello -

Has anyone removed the ignition coil assembly without removing the intake manifold? The bolt closest to the alternator seems to be completely inaccessible unless there is a special tool involved in the process.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I am confused my coil assembly doesn't look like that? I can't see much from your pictures maybe if you had some zoomed out also. Is that the V8? I wish I could be of more help... hopefully someone else replies soon. I would suggest to buy whatever tool you need as its always cheaper than paying for service. I would say J tool... did you resolve this?
