So I was gonna replace a coil and had Patrick on BMA double check the part #.
I was told by Patrick BMA I can just take the rubber part off the ignition coil. Looking at the part, I dont' think its possible.

yes just pull the rubber boot off of the coil and install shouldnt be a problem

So I installed the coil today. The securing clip is upside down from the original. Other than that everything went smoothly. The rough idle I had is way better. I bought new spark plugs and wires at the same time. Hopefully this is the end of my problems for a while. Gonna go test it out now.

BTW I can post short writeup for anyone interested. Its a pretty simple install.
