They're a little bit tight but You can turn them out only in one direction. They turn out to mayge clock position 9:30 or 2:30 depending whether it is #2 or #3 plug. The rubber will give You just enough space to do it.

yes gently turn and pull the coils until the come out.
use the spark plug tool in the kit when you get to the plugs.
It's the only way to fly!

You can use a wiggle joint just above the spark plug socket and a short 4" extension. I changed mine while I had the throttle bodies off. It is much easier that way. You have to wiggle the coils as you pull them until you find the right angle. After you do it once, it is a quick job. As tuusinii said, turn them in the right direction and the rubber will give enough to get them out.
