[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 24258, member: 9438"] I was not as careful because I was replacing the wires. I would do as you said and twist a bunch to break the boot seal but even if you do that, I would bet the grip of the metal tang on the end of wire, is not spinning the same as the boot. Grab as deep as you can and wiggle all you can as you pull off. Even then, the metal tang has such a hard grasp at the spark plug tip, that even if it does not separate, it will likely damage at the plug wire to tang crimp area and cause a problem. I tell every customer that I am not gonna try to save the GM coil to spark plug wires. They need to do new wires, if I do them. I give them no option. [/QUOTE]
