If it is just the boot just grab a set of long nosed needle nose and go to work on it. Do u have the coil out including the spring? If So just rip the boot out. It will have a little suction some more than others i guess yours is just in there good. Rip it out with pliars worse come to worse you rip it then u could just go run up to your local ford dealer and just buy a new boot. Probably only a few dolaars. I whole set online is like 50 or 60 bucks so one cant be bad. Do not buy a whole new coil just the boot if needed that should be all u need.

how'd you guys get the coil pak bold off on the driverside underneath what i think is the regulator? it's completely underneath it and i can't get it with a 1/4" swivel.

Take the fuel rail loose. There's two 8mm bolts holding it in place, one twards the back of the blower and the other you can't miss. Just pull the hardware off and it should give you a little wiggle room.

A wobble extension and a shallow 7mm socket will help as well.
