Okay, this is really idiotic. I can't get the spark plug wires off the spark plugs. I don't get it. The dealer installed new plug wires a while ago, so they haven't been taken off ever. I'm yanking on those bitches as hard as I can and no luck. Any reason this would be happening? Feel like an idiot on this one, never had any trouble pulling plug wires off a car before...?
 
I have the same freakin problem with my spark plugs. I had some bosch plugs that would stick and I had to use pliers to tear them out. They wouldnt pop out for anything. Doesnt anyone else have this problem? Im going to get new NGK wires and see if they do the same.
 
couple of months ago i ran into same problem, couldn't get one of the wires out. i knew it should've popped out easily like the others but that one didn't. Anyhow i had no choice but to pull hard, and yes it finally came out but that metal conductor inside the boot came apart, being attached to the plug. So i used a plier to get that piece out from the plug. I felt this was the right time for me to get a set of new plugs w/ new wires(Accel) so i did.
Stock wires aren't great anyways... so don't be affraid and just pull it hard as u can. :laugh:
