E430 m113940 spark plug change

[johnsco]

I have this marathon job to do soon.
Am I correct in thinking that there is a useful tool / thingy that you can use to help the caps off the spark plug without pulling too much on the plug leads ?
Do the plug leads themselves pull off the ignition modules ?
The last thing I want to do is to bust anything !!

What is the recommended torque for replacement plugs ?
All advice welcome.
Thanks.

use a 17mm spanner to pull the caps off.

Leave them plugged onto the coils.

I managed 26 mins on a clk430. It should take an hour and a half on a 210.
