Spark plug accident

Can the ignition coil sleeve come off so you could see the spring ? Or did I break it ? Was changing spark plugs and coils wouldn't cone out. When they did only the top part came off.

I honestly don't know but don't see any broken plastic except for around the connector it looks cracked.

Thanks for the reply. I replaced the coil. This piece came off another coil but it wasn't damaged I just slipped it back on and it worked fine. Changed my plugs was a pain in the *** but got it done.

You think that was a pain try a v6 240/320 with 12 spark plugs. The front ones are not to bad but towards the firewall it gets a little cozy to say the least.

Glad all is well you should be good for a long while now and even with parts cost you are still ahead of what a dealer would charge i bet.
