Toolz: 10mm hex rachet with extension. Magnetic would be a plus because I had to have a steady hand so the machine screw bolt would not fall out of the hex when screwing it back in.

Disconnect the battery and remove the FSTB is you have one. If you don't you will not be able to get to coils #1,#3 and #5.

You will also need to unsecure the line (circle in red). Once removed you will be able to replace coil #5.

808MaxSpec's 2001 Nissan Maxima Honolulu, HI Customized with Cattman Strut Bars, Injen Intake, Goodyear Tires, PIAA Lighting, Nismo Body Kit - 134 Ignition coil replacement took me 1.5 hours. Contributing factors were removal of FSTB, picture taking, and dealing with confine space for replacing coils 1, 3 and 5.

Here are the test coil results. Not sure which is the bad coil.
