How can 3 of you not get a spark plug boot off? I'm really confused.
Did someone glue it in there?

I’ve been working on Harleys for over 40 years. I fuked up the plug wire trying to remove the ones buried in the center of the head. Apparently the factory doesn’t use dialectic grease.

You take a pair of long needle nose pliers and a coat hanger and bend up a couple small tight fish hooks and Mr boot pops off every time. Pull up and use the pliers to twist to top of the boot at the same time.

Ain't rocket science...

If they "disappear" and wind up in your toolbox, how would she know??

My wife wrote her name on the Turkey Baster. Blume as if that’s gonna stop me from using it in the garage in a pinch. I’m sure there are 3 other ones hiding in the garage somewhere.

Thank you for this. I went inside, my wife gave this exact thing to me, I did bend the tips a little sharper, and they did the job. So Im all set. Thank you.
