Last weekend, I have attempted to change spark plugs on '05 AP2, 110K miles. I could not get them out easily, so sprayed some PB Blaster and left overnight.
After pulling out the ignition coils the next day, I realized that 3 of the 4 bushings separated from the coil. It must have been the PB Blaster that ate away the glue that was holding them.
Can I superglue them back and reuse, or is it too risky, considering they could get stuck on the spark plug end?
If I need to buy new ones, which brand?
The big question is, what happens if whatever glue you put causes them to fail. The caps look about the right height that they'll stick on top of your spark plugs, so it'll be a PITA (although not impossible) to fish them out.
I'd personally buy new ones. Some Autozones have "Made in Japan/Denso" coil packs for MY00-05 for $58.99 branded as Denso (obviously) or for $48.99 branded as Duralast (but look for the made in Japan/Denso sticker -- it's a must -- not all of them have it) that are exactly the same. FYI.
