Ignition Coil Replacement

Hello-hoping someone has some insight in replacing the ignition coil(s) on a 2003 Explorer Limited (V8 4.6L). Where is it located? Any special tools needed? Any helpful hints would be great. Thank you!

Each spark plug has its own coil (COP - coil on plug). Unplug the electrical connector and unscrew the retaining bolt to remove the COP; torque is 53 lb-in to install bolt.
