Ignition Coil Boot Replacement

I will be getting a Eurocharged tune soon. My plugs and boots from the ignition coils are original from 2013. I was told Eurocharged recommends stock plugs, so I ordered some and completely forgot about ordering new boots for ignition coils. They are sold as a separate item and are about 10 bucks a piece.

Question is - Do the boots just twist or pull off the ignition coils? I don't see any info on it out there specifically to this issue.

Anyone have any idea? Anyone done it before?

Thanks,

Scott

Best to change plugs with the engine a bit warm/hot.
once you unscrew the 2 screws holding the coils lift it up a bit and pull on the boost itself not on the coil.
they need a bit of force but they do come off.

I get that. The question is regarding changing the actual boots.

I went ahead and ordered 8 boots for the car. I will change them all out. And I bought 2 extra ignition coils in case something goes wrong!

correct. They just pull off the ignition coil.

I ordered the factory plugs, which are Bosch, but have the MB logo on it.

Probably could have saved a couple of bucks by going straight to Bosch, but the difference in price was not that alarming on line.

I guess the 2 new coils will be installed against the Fire Wall

If any of the others go bad they are easier to access in the future.
Been looking around for replacement coils MSDs or some type of up graded coils but no luck.
