Coil Removal Trick?

Can't get any of the coils loose on my wife's Justa. Is there a trick?

Looked at this thread already-

On each coil toward the front of the car, there is a plastic clip handle. Start from the bottom and pull the handle upward. This will release the wire from the coil. Then pull the coil upward.

I thought so too, till I looked at the threads. Then I realised what this thread was about.
