I would like to change-out the spark plugs on my 2002 Eurovan, VR6, 4-valve. I managed to tilt the radiator forward to provide clearance for long socket extension. My problem is that I can't figure out how to disengage the cable bundles from the coils, and I don't want to force anything. I presume I have to depress something, or pry something. But none of the little tabs seem to deflect when I press on them. Can you instruct me?

Also, I can't see what holds the coils in place. How do I extract them from the head?

How much should I donate for your help?

i'm sending apic, it looks like they have to be squeezed together to get the electrical off. look for small 6mm bolts that hold them in.

Coils are just pushed-in / pull out, not mounted via bolt.

Here's a video I made:
