Quick ? on stock coil

Hey,
I'm in the middle of changing the coil on my car.
I have it off...but how in the world do I disconnect the coil itself from the housing.
Its being held in place by two rivits it think.
Once those rivits are out...what do I replace them with.

If I remember correctly you should use two long small bolts with nuts. What kind of coil is it?

Stock coils are riveted to the bracket. Something along these lines should help.

I know its been a few days.
I had to take care of a sudden family medical emergency.
I just left the car up on stands and took off.
But anyway...I took off the coil and put it the brackets back together wrong.
Once I put the brackets behind each other with the holes lining up...it slip right back into place.
From there it only took 10 min to button everything back up.

Thanks for the help everyone
