Pulling spark plug wires.

[mange1234]

Hello,

Will some one give me some advise on how to pull the spark plug wires and boots. I am having a fit with them. Mainly the ones on the right hand side.

Help please. I have bruises all over my arms. I did manage to pull four of them. The three on the left side. and one on the right side middle. Leaving no 1 and 3 yet to pull.

Is there a trick to this. Please help.

Mike

Best ten bucks you can spend, your hands will thank you.
Also used these for the factory hose clamps. Good luck.

Thanks,

Im going out and buy one this morning. My arms will thank me also. I wore gloves, but have bruises all over my arms.

In addition, after struggling with the wires, I disconnected some vacuum hoses, which threw a scrare into me until I put vacuum gage on engine.

Now have two jobs this morning. Rebuild my vacuum hose sysem and pull a couple more spark plugs.

look in passenger fender well there is hole right 2 back 2 plugs on passenger side.. i use normal deep well socket to pull old ones out since there garbage anyways and acutally plug socket to put new ones in that also makes world of difference

Go in thru the wheel well. When replacing them, put die-electric on the boots. Makes it easier to remove them the next time.
