part of spark plug wire boot stuck in spark plug

[goj_cloud]

i just fixed a recent problem with my car and i needed to change the spark plugs to make it perfect. when i went to pull the spark plug boots they all came out except one. now the bottom part of the rubber boot is stuck in the spark plug, and it looks impossible to get out normally. how can i get myself out of this one

see the part that got stuck in the hole

Same exact thing happened to me, I just used a long pair of needle nose pliers to get them out, it was a tight squeeze but they worked.

Yes I had the same thing with the rubber end stuck to the spark plug, also I forgot to mention the most important part, in order to get the long pair of needle nose pliers close enough I took the valve cover off and it wasn't a problem to get it out after that.

I always use my long pick tool and grab it. A screwdriver will work. Brainless to figure out.

wow bro same thing happned 2 me 2 days ago, i got sum pentration fluid down there, let that sit over night then went like a mad man on it stabbing it with a screw driver, then took my air nozzle at 200 psi with a rag over the hole 2 catch the fluid first, then blew the litle ruber peices out, man that was fun!, then use some eletric grease on these plugs so it dont happen again

a simple spark plug change can never be easy on a high mileage 240lol

I used a piece of metal like a paper clip, but slightlythicker. And I also used needle nose pliars, like said above.Hope you get it man! It's not that hard just keep trying you will get it!

or if you really want to over think it if you dont have a set of picks take the valve cover off and use needle nose pliers...
