you should be able to rent the tool needed at just about any autoparts store.

Advance auto, it was like 100 bucks. use it, take it back, get 100 back.

make sure you get the one that clamps on the outside of the coils, and check it at the store.

i drove 30 min to advance, got one, drove 30 min back to my house....WRONG ONE!!!

i got to do that driving again
