I used a die grinder to grind off the rivet heads on the bottom (looking at it as if it was on the car). Then punched them out with a nail and hammer (I don't have a punch/chisel set yet).

Do whatever you can to put the grounds back on.

Don't forget to put silicon dielectric grease on both the head and the coil bracket when you put it back on (did this myself )

i wouldn't worry a lot if you didn't put the grease on.
