broken coil tabs

monterey · 03-27-2017, 02:03 PM

Just replaced my plugs and found two of my pulling tabs were cracked. Not sure if I did it or the previous owner. Do these need to be replaced or just run them and deal with it the next round. Car seem to run fine now after the swap.

Won't hurt anything.

I think it's just cosmetic. Makes it easier when removing with the coil puller tool. Should be fine mechanically.
