it live right at the back of your passenger side of the engine. Torx bolts but a 1/4" drive 8mm hex socket fits. Remove the plastic scuttle to give  you room.
You'll need a box of plasters afterwards.  :o
 ;D ;D ;D
Not a difficult job, just fiddly cos you only see the coil pack as you remove the last bolt.  :y
