CAUTION:@ Do not use any type of tools to re-
move or install the cap as the igni-
tion coil coupler may get damaged.
The spark plug cap may be difficult
to remove because a rubber seal on
the end of the cap is tightly fit into
the cylinder bore. To remove the
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it upward; when install-
ing the cap, twist it back and forth
while pushing it downward. @
