Very easy to replace... a few things in the way to them. Let me see if I have the photos available from when I did mine.

The complete thread

I installed the fuse box... make sure the rubber grommets are correctly installed. I had to undo the metal plate twice because of this...



All done:

There have been a couple threads over the last few years about the new Bosch coils having a high failure rate. Is this still true/what brand is the best?
