2006 spark plug boots

[captainquigg]

Hey guys, I have a 2006 XLT /4.0. Trying to change plugs. Got them all out on drivers side, but am having a hard time on the 3 on passenger side. Can hardly get my big fat hands in there to pull the boots off. Anyone got a trick for getting those boots off. Sprays, tools, etc? Thanks for your help.

A well spent $10, your knuckles will thank you.
(Or you can use the money for Band-Aids) LOL

Don't forget dielectric grease for the next change.

I had the same problem, used a 10' slip joint plier to pull the boots off. I actually tore a boot on the drivers side when using my hands, with the pliers they came off with a twisting motion.
