I am in the middle of replacing the coil, and just to find out it looks like it's riveted to the ICM. How can I get the coil off?

 

If you take a flat screwdriver rest it on the head of the rivit on the backside (the side that sits on the head of the motor), and wack the top of the screwdriver with a hammer.

The expanded head of the rivit will fall off and then you'll have a flush surface on the back. This will allow you to push the rivet out.

 

Just drill the rivets out. They are made of a real soft metal, so it should be a piece of cake.

 

WHAT HE SAID

 

ok, i used a chisel and hammer and knocked the head off. after i just pulled the coil off and tapped the rest of the rivet out from the ICM. Thanks guys! Coil is in the car and it runs good.
