    I have found a good way for me to remove that stuck plug boot. These boots become baked
    onto the plug. Get a suitable size worm gear type hose clamp. Put it tightly all the way down
    to the boots end where it is right next to engine block. Now tighten it up securely. Now do
    this . Pull up on hose clamp, even twisting it back and forth. You are separating it away from
    being baked into plug. Do not give up. It will now separate from plug. Works every time for me.😊9

  • @kennethnichols7263
    @kennethnichols7263 2 роки тому +1

    What I’ve done before is to wrap a tie wrap around the boot with a much longer tie wrap looped under the tie wrap around the boot. Use the long tie wrap loop and a pry bar to pull up on the boot. Works every time.

    My father had an Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra with that engine. I remember the back spark plugs were a pain. I see those plug wires were tough enough to remove on the front side, and they were easy to get to. I think I remember putting dielectric grease inside the new wire boots to make them easy to remove the next time.
