I went to change my plugs yesterday and when I tried to pull the wire out, it was stuck to the plug and the wire pulled out of the boot. It done this once before when I first got it. What keeps making it do this? I ordered a set of NGKs and don't want them to tear up. Any ideas?

Before you install the wires add a dab of di-electric (sp?) grease. You can pick up a small packet at most parts stores for .99 cents of $1.99. Something like that. They can usually be found on the counter with the anti-sieze, brake pad goop and what not.

Do I put it on the glass part? I wouldn't imagine you would put it on the metal part. Or do you?

Both is fine. Its a non conductive grease but the metal part of the plug and the metal of the wire clip will make contact just fine.
