Thanks for the tip. Prior to see your video I was having a huge problem trying to get the boots off. When I was able to remove the boot, they were coming off in pieces.
You totally saved my bacon! I had two badly stuck and this little trick did the… trick, lol! That’s why I love UA-cam and people who take the time to share!! Thanks
I don't often comment on UA-cam, but now I must. I spent an hour of very strong vocabulary trying to get my #8 boot off. I watched your video and sceptically tried it. Boom! It's out! Thank you!!
I had the same problem, all boots were stuck, then I came to youtube to see if I found something to help and bam! found your video I didn't think it was that easy and you should see my face when the first one came off!! totally nailed it like some one said in the comments... you're the man bro!!!
Thx brother, Im getting ready to attempt my first time ever changing a spark plug on my 03 f150 and of course its the #4 (way back on the left), had some misfires that the obd said was caused by #4.I hope when Im finished I can remain as calm and smooth as you are, thx again for posting!
Ive looked at all the research and manufactures service bulletins. Triton motors only blow out the replacement plugs, never the factory installed plugs. The reason? Torque! The factory plugs are installed with a torque wrench and set to spec. do the same and you'll have the same results as the factory. NO LOCK-TIGHT NEEDED!!!
Thank you so much! I have two COP's that are not wanting to be removed and I've been hesitant to "take them apart" piece by piece even though I have brand new COP's as replacements. Now if the temperature would just warm up!!!
Is it a Craftsman 43329? Couldn't make it out. Thanks for the video, btw! Should help tremendously with the back boots on my V10, especially on the left side [designed by the Marquee de Sade, I'm sure].
I also used an air gun to shoot compressed air into the boot and break the seal. Then I was able to pull the boots off gently with needle nose pliers. If they gave me trouble I used spray silicone. I think it might be gentler on the boot rubber than WD-40. Just wanted to mention another way to do this.
I was scared when i saw my boot came off thought i fucked up till i saw your video. Just finished my project. Now i need a jumpstart. Im gonna keep an eye out for more videos from you.
I CANT EVEN GET THE STUPID COIL WIRE PLUG OFF ...CRACKED IT AND WHOEVER OWNED THIS JUNK BEFORE DID THE SAME. TO ANOTHER ONE=Come on man a fricken plug .Obviously a poor design if the previous mechanic had to break it to get it off ,what a joke. Just push the tab and it slides right off ,no,no it doesn't,

Thank you! I used a hook tool to add a little pull inside the boot, worked perfectly!

Glad it helped Gabriel.
Awesome. Thank you man. Worked like a charm getting the boot off number 4 cylinder in the back.
Wish I found this video yesterday. Ripped 3 boots, but going to try this on my next 5 boots. Thanks for sharing!
Did it work?

You're a lucky man

Help....Mine broke. Half of the boot is still inside the plug well..
Get a coat hanger, curl up the end and you should be able to pull the busted boot out. I'm sure you got it by now, but for future reference. ;)
do you happen to know what the part number on that craftman flathead is? I couldn't make it out on the video
41589 is the one I used but may differ if part numbers have changed since I bought it.
Came to UA-cam to see what will work. After I cool down going to get that boot off. Luckily 3 came off with ease.
Did it work?
@@RippSnortin yes it worked great.
@@RippSnortin also I used a good amount of wd40.
