Went to change my plugs, and the front 3 coils are stuck in the tubes. The first one of those 3 came out but left the rubber boot in the tube. Tried to get it out with pliers but it started tearing and couldnt get it out.I know I will have to replace that one as the boot is had it, but does anyone have any tips to get them out without destroying them? Btw car is ba xr6 tCheersChrisSent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
