Jason,
Thanks, you've now just officially contributed more to an
N55 coil / spark plug change than anybody else on the internet!
My issue is that bolt you have the arrows to, it just doesn't want to come out. I'm pretty much out of options...do you know what the torque spec on that SOB is supposed to be? Counter clockwise...right? I'm just going to take it to a shop and be like hey, take this off please.
