You don't need to remove the plenum to get the DIS  pack off. I managed with a 1/4" drive socket set, used ordinary hex socket as I didn't have a Torx. It is possible, and I don't have child like hands!  ;)  :y  :y

Yes you can use normal hex sockets. Put a lot of weight on it though.
I did my dads 2.5 v6 coil pack a while back and nearly rounded one of the bolts using a hex socket. Would have been impossible to get out had I completely wrecked it :o

No, neither could I  :y The first time I saw it was as the last bolt was undone & I pull the DIS up and out.  ;)  ;)

I have just replaced mine, a bitch of a job. I didn't put it back in the same position though, I moved it to the side of the engine.
Try this link, sorry it's a different Forum but I use both as others do.
