Can't remove '98 Out Back Spark plug wires!!!

[Matt]

I have tried and tried to change my plugs myself but I cant get the wires
off the plugs. I can turn them left and right but they won't pull off the
plugs! Help!! Is this common? How the heck do you get these things
off!!!??? TIA

Hi,
Are you sure the wire plug is really turning on the spark plug or
just twisting the wire left, right. You're doing it right, just try harder.

Yes, I was able to turn the plug wire round and round so it was definitely
was not stuck. I was pulling so hard on the boot with a set of
pliers(clamped on a rag) that the entire engine was rocking back and forth.
This is crazy! I think I may have to take it somewhere but the mech. is
going to have the same problem. Something is not right here... Somedays I
long for my old XT6; it was so easy to work on.

They can be difficult the first time. As said before grab the BOOT near the
head and twist 90 degrees back and forth several times and pull. They will
come out. Silicone the OUTSIDE of the boot when you replace and next time
will be a snap

Grab the lead near to the plug - put a little bit of "pull" on it - then
waggle the plug end vigorously left to right - it will come off quite easily
that way.
