Need a deep E70 ignition coil (spark plug) change tip

How do you guys change the ignition coils that are deep inside the engine bay? I was barely able to do it once and man it took me nearly an hour to get enough pressure to push the thing in. Other ones just took 30 seconds... There has to be a better way. I tried to look up and found no answer anywhere.

do a google/ youtube search but essentially you take out the engine partitions, and loosen the looms at the back end of the engine. Kind of a bitch to do but definitely doable.
