Stuck Ignition Coil

[MEG04]

Hi guys, I have been trying to get the pencil coil changed on my Megane 04 1.4. Its a petrol engine but it sounds like a tractor
I managed to replace the first one easily by removing the the bolt and replacing it with a new one, but the last coil on the 4th cylinder is stuck.
Any ideas how i could get it off?

Do you mean that the actual coil is stuck to the spark plug or that the 10mm bolt wont move? if stuck to the spark plug try twisting with a pair of pliers or small molegrips as the coil wont be of any use afterwards but be careful of not snapping the spark plug and if the bolt use a ring spanner and gently tap it so it moves.
