    If you can figure out how to use a socket set you can do it. Piss easy job.

    Yep, only PITA is 5 and 6, as you have to removed the balance tube.

    Mate, unclip connector, undo two bolts with socket and gently pull up to remove. Reverse order with new coil. Do one at a time and you will be right. Back two can be little tricky for beginners, just see what needs removing to acces the coils, and replace when done

    If you done spark plugs then you would have removed coil packs to do so. Mate it's as easy as described, do the front one first to see how easy it is and you will be fine

    If you have done spark plugs, then you have done all the steps required to change the coils.

    Just make sure you reseal the balance tube properly when you put it back on after removing it to replace the 2 rear coil packs. There are 3 o'rings on one side and two on the other. Use new o'rings or engine sealant. The coil pack long lead part has a little spring then carbon piece at plug end in the hole , make sure there is one of each in each one ( the long bit that goes down on the spark plug end ). Also check / clean all the coil pack and injector connectors while you are at it. Dirty connectors make Zeds run like crap as do leaking balance tubes. It is a piss easy job as long as you use common sense ( i know common sense ain't common ) YOU CAN DO IT.
