use puller to remove coil, MARK WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO BEFORE YOU TAKE IT OFF! (you know why I am saying this!):

Re-install coil in the CORRECT NEW LOCATION ;):
(I used a Deadblow Hammer and slowly worked my way around it until it was seated.)

Looks good.
I wouldn't pound on the porcelain part, use a blunt screwdriver to pound it in, down in the trough.

Did the forum limit the upload and force you to post it this way?

good point, my deadblow hammer is rubber, the metal ring would be a good place to pound it down.

One more thing if someone is going to try this. The AC tool is a remover and an installer. You must use the installer portion to put the clutch back on, any improper pushing or hammering will distort the metal and the
clutch will rub. I think .040 is the clearance your looking for, I can't remember. I watched a vid on utube of a mechanic doing it.

This is a great thread Mendo. Not that I care too much, but haveing this kind of info in sub forums could set this forum over the top.
