I've now got my 6 plugs (the new V6 is a single spark) from ECP and looking to change the plugs in the next couple of weeks. I popped the engine cover off today to see how easy it looks and I must say all the plugs look really easy to get to. One thing I noticed is that the coil pack (I assume that's what it is) seems to be held in place with two torx screws. There's a connector that that plugs into the side of the pack which I assume needs to be disconnected.

Does anyone have any experience of the 272 before I start pulling it apart? Is this the correct process - disconnect cable, remove torx screws, etc. Does the pack then just push onto the plug?

Pull off the airbox,when going back together make sure the pipe to the air pump at the front is connected (seen a few which havnt been put back on) then as youve said,just undo the 2 t30 torx,disconnect plug and pull up each coil.

MB do say remove the coils if the hinder they work,, by using an open ended spanner, lever the caps off across the top of the rocker cover to avoid damage to the pack by pulling them off
