Hard to get off Spark Plug Boots If you ever have a spark plug boot that is hard to get off one way that has worked good for me is to take a 2-3 foot 3/16 brake line and screw it into a air nozzle and then file the end of the line to look like a hypo needle and then insert it between the boot and wire and give it a short blast of air. It will balloon out and then you can pull it right off, once in a while if they are still stuck I will spray a little brake clean in between the boot and wire and they slide right off. ------ JustAutoParts - a place to find automotive parts and technical advice. http://www.JustAutoParts.ca // http://justautoparts.googlepages.com/index.html http://justautoparts.googlepages.com/AutoPartsWay.html > Hard to get off Spark Plug Boots > If you ever have a spark plug boot that is hard to get off one way [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > ------ > JustAutoParts - a place to find automotive parts and technical advice.http://www.JustAutoParts.ca // http://justautoparts.googlepages.com/index.htmlhttp://justautoparts.googlepages. com/AutoPartsWay.html wipe a little silicone grease on the spark plug before you reinstall the boot and this will not happen again nate > wipe a little silicone grease on the spark plug before you reinstall > the boot and this will not happen again > > nate Tell that to the goof that had it before me! I never have used silicone grease on spark plugs or spark plug wires and I have never had any trouble removing the wires from the plugs.I give them a little twist and a tug and they come right off.I have a tool that I bought at an auto parts store years ago which is designed to aid in removing spark plug wires, but I have needed to use it yet. cuhulin In article <9c345f46-ab93-43e3-ada8-aff8c2123c94@m36g2000hse.googlegroups.com>, > Hard to get off Spark Plug Boots > If you ever have a spark plug boot that is hard to get off one way [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > http://justautoparts.googlepages.com/index.html > http://justautoparts.googlepages.com/AutoPartsWay.html Reposting material from i-ATN... ...tsk-tsk > In article > <9c345f46-ab93-43e3-ada8-aff8c2123...@m36g2000hse.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > ...tsk-tsk Sure the two articles seem similar, but this guy spelled balloon correctly *and* added an oddly-capitalized title.
