Im trying to check out my spark plugs....but the ignition wires wont come off. I was able to remove one without a problem....but the other 3 are REEEALLY stuck on there. I put as much elbow grease as possible and have had no luck. (and im a pretty strong guy). How should i get them off? They're mopar and appear to be really new. should i replace them once im able to get them off?

no someone just forgot to put some anti lock in the boot... you just gotta work it and pull really hard.. lol.. atleast thats what i did..

is there a trick to it? im afraid of damaging them from using more force. and what is this anti lock you speak of. i wana go buy some for after im done magically removing the wires.

Just gonna have to pull... don't pull on the wires, pull on the boot.

You'll want to use some dielectric grease when putting them back on.

i got mine at autozone.. its in little packets up by the register.. there is boot greas dielectric.. and spark plug stuff to put on the threads of your spark plug..

do u use the same di-electric grease on the spark plug threads?

You could, but anti-seize would hold up better. the dielectric is for the boot, as it doesn't conduct electricity, and eases install/removal.

guys i just went out there to try removing the boots again. still no luck. im starting to loose my patience...as well as the feeling in my hands.@#(&(@*&#$

im guna head out and buy some grease and try to get some in by the boots.

I had the same issue with mine when I first got it... the wires and boots would not come off the spark plug.

I pulled, twisted and pulled some more... they finally broke free. Just keep working at it and eventually they should break free... include some twisting with the pulling.

Now I use a dab of di-electric grease around the plug where the boot fits... and they stick no more.

geez i finally got them off. i actually had to stand on top of the frame and put my entire body into it. unbelievable.
