I am trying replace my ignition coil, I know I read you have to drill out the rivets holding it to a bracket. Do I attempt to drill it in the Engine compartment, or do I remove the entire bracket holding it and drill out rivets out Then? It seems rather tough to remove the bracket, it being bolted to the exhaust manifold.

 

just use loots of PB blaster!

You run the chance of damaging something tryting to drill it on the car. its super easy once you get it off....after, you use buts / bolts to install the new one so its easy in case you need to change it again another time.

 

I carefully used a dremel tool to grind heads off of rivets, in the car. After following the link on post 4, I followed all the steps it lead me to the coil pick up, it wasn’t putting out the correct voltage. At first I thought it was beyond my skills to change this, having to pull the distributor, but I did it today, removed the pick up coil and will get a new one tomorrow. Will update after installed and put everything back together. Hopefully all goes well.
