How do I get the damn Ignition coil out?

I went to replace my ignition coil because it is burnt in half (long story) and I can't figure out how to get it off so I can put the new one on. It doesn't seem to have any visible screws, the only thing I can is that it seems to be rivited (spelling) on. Now how does that work when I have to replace it? any help?

I had to drill the rivets out in order to get the bracket off...if my memory serves me correctly.

The coil is riveted in the bracket which is bolted to the intake. Unbolt the bracket from the intake, remove it from your engine, grind off or drill out the rivets, and bolt a new one in its place. Then just bolt the whole thing back in. Easy enough?
