westslope Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I find removing the spark plug cables from the plugs difficult because of the deeply recessed location. It is easy to pull the cable right off the clip that connects to the plug. The Haynes manual has a picture of a narrow boot puller. I went looking and the best I could find was something similar to this one at Princess Auto in Langley, BC: Unfortunately, it is simply too wide to be of any use. Suggestions? I really dislike pulling on the cables....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I always push on and twist to break the seal before I pull them. I never pull by the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspawn Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I bought a cheap one at Auto Zone. It looks like a bent ended wire crimpler. It worked perfect when I used it; costed about $5(us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 i've got some snapon ones that are awesome...they were given to me long ago and honestly had no idea what they would be used for until I got my 95 and it clicked as soon as i tried to start pulling plug wires... they are mostly like this but mine doesnt have insulators on the tongs and they seem to be about 3" longer than these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspawn Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 That's how mine is with a little curve at the end, yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westslope Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks unccpathfinder. Do yours look like this? Couldn't find any boot pullers with uninsultated tongs on the Snap-on tools web-site.. These ones are 9 3/4 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 k9's right.. just twist and then pull on the rubber boot part instead of the wire itself.. no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
