back on topic. I remember when i did my engine the bolts were a pain to get a wrench on and correct me if im wrong but there are star washers that hold a wire on the bolt and on mine i had to pb blast it to death. id say just use lots of pb and maybe an air ratchet

I've done several of them and I don't recall anything being even remotely challenging. What's your concern?

I actually replaced mine today. Take the entire bracket that the the coil bolted to. There are 2 ground wire that are attaced to the bolts. Spray it with some pb blast and let it soak for a little while. It takes about 1/2 hr to do
