WTB: Coil puller tool

PYE46M3 · 04-29-2020, 02:28 PM

anyone got an ignition coil pulling tool laying around they're willing to sell?

Totally unnecessary device. Just use some string/cable/webbing/etc.

That's what I've read but some people ended up ripping the top of their coils with them... im just paranoid lol... was thinking about old shoe lace.

I was nervous too. You'll be fine. I used a coat hanger

spark plug change and cabin filter change, just finished today,
2 hours, used a magnetic swivel spark plug socket with built in extension, 12 gauge solid core electrical wire to wrap around coil and pull. you may need to twist the wire around for tight fit and use something where you are gripping to get enough leverage. (twist wire and use a screwdriver for a good holding point. go on you-tube for video pointers! I did and it was very helpful...

also not as hard as i thought it would be!

good luck

I used a strip of nylon webbing. The texture keeps it nice and snug and it's easy to grip with your hand.
You'll get it, I'm sure there's something laying around that'll get it done.

Where are you located. If you're close I will let you borrow my Division M one w/ a refundable deposit. Tool makes it easier.
