removing coil pack and starter on 2000 explorer

[mkj]

hi everyone...been trying to find the right tool to remove the coil pack on the 2000 4. 0 sohc engine...I tried different sockets but seems to strip the nut or screw..anyone the name of the right tool? Also will a coil pack fit from a 95 ohv engine on that sohc?

I am also replacing the starter...won't crank or turn over just a click in the relays... when I turn the key everything works except dome lights go off...thinking the soleniod is draining the battery,,,terminals are checked and are good.truck is jacked up and I see little space to work...anyone know the easist way to remove the starter underneath?

p,s checked all relays and fuses...

Are you talking about the bolts that hold the coil pack in the bracket? They should be 7mm.
