spark plug replacement

So this evening I went out to do my 30K mile maintenance - Ok at about



35K miles. In attempting to replace the spark plugs, I was suprised to find that I cannot get the wire/cover off the spark plugs. This rubber boot around each of the spark plugs stretches several inches when I try to pull it off. Can anyone share the trick to getting the cable/boot off to access the spark plugs?

Thanks, Devin Nelson

Iridium spark plugs are rated for 30,000 miles, just like copper plugs...

When you finally get them off, apply a light coat of dielectric grease around the inside sealing surface of each boot prior to reinstallation. Helps seal out corrosion and aids the next plug swap.
