Spark Plug Wires

[69Bronco]

2003 HD 1500 6 L, having difficulty removing the spark plug wires from the spark plug. What is the trick, I pulled hard on both the aluminum cap surround the plug boot and the plug boot and was not able to get the plug wire off the plug. Is there a special tool that I need to remove the plug wires?

 

Thank you for the help.

They do make spark plug boot pullers but if you are going to be replacing the wires then get some channel locks and rip them bastards off!

Twist.

 

Twist and pull.

 

Use a little bit of silicone or dielectric grease on the inside of the boots when reinstalling (not to mention anti-seize on the plugs).

the aluminum cover just snap over wire ends, pull those back first, then use plug wire remover to get the wire itself off...

I've never re-used plug wires not worth it IMO. I've always replaced them if I was changing plugs too. And like dewfpo added, use some grease on em.
