Hey guys my TFI module went bad so I'm replacing it. But I can't get the old one off ! The hole is to small for a socket to fit into how do these come off??

You need a TFI/Ignition Module tool with the special tapered socket or modify a 5.5mm or 7/32" socket to fit.

a regular 5.5mm fit fine for mine?
if it's real close you could try making the holes in the plastic bigger, but not enough to break into the module itself

Many auto parts stores carry the tool.
