this is why they sell that grease for plug boots, they can corrode in place

you might have to cut it off with a knife
 






Try getting to it thru the wheel well and use a small pair of channel locks to grap, twist, and pull.
 






Twist. Seriously. 1/4 turn and they'll pop loose (usually). When I changed my original plugs, the ends had welded to the tip of the plug. I had two of them actually tear the end right out of the wire.

Beefy looking boot puller!

Where'd you find that puller? Looks like it could pull stumps. Most I've seen are wimpy by comparison.
