Anyone have a trick up their sleeve or know a tool that will fit in the hole to remove the spark plug boots on my 30v? Mine are pretty stuck and I'd rather not ruin them while doing the valve cover gaskets.

 

if i understand you correctly, you need one of these

 

Yeah, I need something like that. I was just wondering if anyone knew of one that would fit in the hole of the valve cover. It would be nice to be able to reach all the way to the base of the boot.

 

sorry but it probably wont happen. when i deal with a situation akin to this, i normally pull real hard and hope for the best. if worst comes to worst, youll be replacing plug wires, which should really be replaced at that point anyways. next time, maybe throw a bit of dielectric grease under there.

 

if they are that stuck, it may be replacement time but long needle nose work, liek the realllly long ones, or the long needle nose with the 45 degree tip on them

I've got some real long needle nose. I'll check to see how they fit in the hole.

I thought about making one like this: Lisle 51250 - Spark Plug Wire Puller | O'Reilly Auto Parts
