Pull them out in a straight line, don't waggle, bend, twist or flex them in any way

Otherwise you risk cracking the ceramic internals

(if it uses ceramic internals that is - Audi/VW's do and their own numbnut mechanics break them)

If you have an earlier scoob (can't remember the dates), might just be leads with the coil pack in the middle of the engine.

its the early Impreza that has individual coil packs, the later impreza uses a remote coil pack and spark plug leads.

remove the 12mm bolt then pull the coil off. You dont need to get under the car to do this as in that thread, removing the windscreen washer bottle on the NS gives access (just 2 bolts), removing the airbox top on the OF gives access(just a couple of clips to undo)
