removing a coil. is there some secret?

Yeah, they're painful for me too, so don't feel bad. You likely have a
longer back, in my case I'm stretching my vertebrae to the point where I
feel it later, but my hands are small enough.
What I've done is slack off the nut on the lower bolt, then completely
remove the upper bolt/nut, and swing the thing around to access that lower
fastener more easily. Getting some longer bolts may make the reinstallation
a bit easier. And if you're just swapping things around in coil-ville for a
while, cable tie the thing to the upper stress bar if you have one, hell,
if it's just a test swap, leave the original one on the firewall while you
test drive its replacement strapped onto the bar. I had two coils in Klaus
for a while when I was trying to diagnose the "arschlaufen".
