coil pack issue

Changing out the coil packs and when I removed one of them the spring came out of the coil pack, I dont think thats a big deal.

Well I go to put the oil pack in that spot and it wont go on the spark plug. I tried dielectric grease and it still wont go on. I even tried one of the old coils and it wont go on.

Is there any other tricks?

Are you sure the spark plug is in right? I would check that first.

Use a mirror on the end of a long shaft and a light to look in the plug well to see what's going on.
Something is left in so the socket or coil spring won't set on the plug..
Take a look!
Good luck.

Im throwing in the towel. I am going to have to pay someone to do it as I cant see anything in there or feel anything, I blew it out with air and still wont go in.

I even tried to take the spring out and it wont fit

Well while typing this I took my handy dandy Iphone and took a picture

Looks like there is a piece of the boot still on the plug.

Now lets see if I can get that out with out killing my self since Im waiting to have knee surgery from a slip and fall 2 weeks ago, it makes it hard to get under the hood with a brace on
