My spark plug wires seem to be glued onto the spark plugs and I can't pull them off. I've tried twisting the boot but no luck.[img:dfd70a942d]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/203163_IMG_1515_1.jpg[/img:dfd70a942d] Is there a special trick or tool for removing the wires that I should be using??

if you are replacing them, just pull really hard. they will come loose.

Thanks rhall77,

I'll just pull them out with a pair of pliers. I guess it's a good idea to replace them anyway.

P.S.- I'm making a donation to the site, thanks again for your help.

you can use a pick and try to pull up on the bottom to release the suction, when you pull on them there is no air in them and it sucks on the plugs making it hard to come out, so twist and pull.
