I'm stuck on the same issue. I think you have to remove the couple of torx screws that hold down the long orange rail and then pop all of the coil packs off at the same time. Then you can undo the coil pack you want to.

I'm hoping someone who has done it will chime in though.

The proper way is to use your thumb and push on the tab, shown in GREEN, in that direction. Then wiggle the connector off.

A second method which works if you have the access, is to use a very thin piece of metal, like a paper clip, and slide it in the slot shown in red, UNDER the little tab. Then wiggle the connector off.

So do you NOT have to unscrew the couple of torx screws that hold down the orange rail connecting the coil packs?

You need to remove the torx screws. Just the two on each side. You can use a hex key if you don't have that size torx.
