Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / April 2006Spark plug boot metal protectors
Hi all my Dakota 3.9 has these steel protectors that surround the boot of the wire near the plug.They are a pain to get off and back on again. I havent ever seen these on any other vehicle and the plugs arent exactly buried down and inside,they are pretty accessible. Do these have to be there? Will the boots melt without them? > inside,they are pretty accessible. Do these have to be there? Will the > boots melt without them? No, and no How the hell do you get them off? I hate the way they hold dirt to drop in the cylinders when you pull plugs. What idiot designed these with the slit on top? >> inside,they are pretty accessible. Do these have to be there?

If the slit is at 12 o-clock, grab it with the jaws at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. Squeeze together, rock back and forth gently, and pull out. If they've been in there for a while, they're a bitch to remove. Will try that, thanks. >> How the hell do you get them off? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > If they've been in there for a while, they're a bitch to remove. > How the hell do you get them off?

Used compressed air to blow the dirt out before you take the plugs out. >> How the hell do you get them off? I hate the way they hold dirt to drop >> in the cylinders when you pull plugs.

Thats what I normally do but feel there is probably some left in there that falls in. > How the hell do you get them off? I hate the way they hold dirt to drop in > the cylinders when you pull plugs.

Its so that it can be put into the hole and hold itself with spring action. >>> inside,they are pretty accessible. Do these have to be there? Will the >>> boots melt without them? >> >> No, and no |
