I haven't posted in awhile but have and use original coils on 3 Panheads that I ride. When I changed spark cables I always pre-warmed the coil disconnected with 6 Volts attached till warm. Then the Tar like material softens up enough to remove the spark cable and reverse to install as well. I'm not much for technical terminology at times but what I say has worked for me many of times. I listen to others suggestions and use what I learn.

If you use the saw, one hole is deep, and the other is not so deep. I will measure a stock coil late tonight and let you know how deep.
1.7" and 3.1" from the top of the threads, to the bottom of the hole. The spike sticks up a bit from the bottom of the hole.
Once you cut all the way down, pull out the chunks(old cable and/or tar) and then you should see the small spike at the bottom of the hole.Andy Wander
