removing a coil. is there some secret?

[sharpshooter33 at roadrunner.com (David Brown)]

I don't know what it is about me and coils, but I have a heck of a time getting them off. either I can't reach the other side of the screw or a bolt that holds them to the firewall strips out.

Anybody have a sure fire method or some other method of getting them off?

I didn't think my hands were that big, but I can't get them out.

Thanks
David
