Umm..no?

if it makes it easier, go ahead and take off the intake and gently move any wires in your way, out of your way. then, with an extension (or a swivel if you have on, it is NOT neccessary though) get the bolt that holds the coil to the fuel rail off, and mess with it a bit till you get it out.

Please spare me the fluid jokes but, the only plug gap-per I could find without heading into town was the half dollar typebut I never was quite sure how to use them. W/hen gap-ping do rotate until the line touches the plug or do you split the electrode

until it touches.. theres absolutly NO reason to removec the fuel rail to get any of the plugs out. get yourself a 3/8" swivel with an extension and your life will be much easier.

I forgot where I read it, but it said to take the fuel rail off. So sorry for any confusion I may have caused

The #4 COP comes out easier, and there's a bit more access to get it out, if you unplug the electrical connector for the nearby injector. Also +1, you do not have to remove the fuel rail to change any of the COPs/plugs...

I have the wobbly extensions and it was a breeze except for having to look for the COP bolt I dropped.
