Quoted from MnHotRod:UPDATE: Lloyd said the coil can be mounted either way and provide the same performance. Maybe I just got lucky but my flippers clearly work much better than they did prior to flipping the coils.
Lloyd also pointed out that diodes and wires on the pawl side is better as when they are on the coil stop side, vibration is more likely to break wires and diodes.

Get stronger.
Worst case scenario - you break the allen head off or the bolt off, and then you are home free anyway.
I've had some mean ones, a ten inch T handle allen wrench 5/32 and a small wrench on the nut usually does it. Or put a ratchet or breaker bar on the nut side for better leverage.
I've never had it happen, but once you have it off, check that you didn't bend the flipper shaft or crack the nylon bushing the flipper shaft rides in.

Quoted from rmillman:does turning the coil around make the plunger want to go in the opposite direction?
No. Coil only pulls in one direction.
Quoted from rmillman:but do I need to change the wiring when connecting back to the game,
It has to be identical no matter which end of the coil is up or down. Keep wires in the same spots no matter what.
