How to remove spark plug boots - 2000 Camry CE

Jun 23, 2003 2 Replies

Is there some trick to removing the spark plug boots on the 4 cyl Camry?



They look like a large square of rubber with the plug wire in the middle.



Do they just pull upward and off? (like the dozens of other cars I've worked on) or is there some trick or special tool needed.



THe boots seem to extend far down into the well in the head where the plugs are, is there something else to watch out for?



Thanks for any suggestions.

That's exactly how to remove them.. pull straight up and they'll pop loose. before you install them, put some dielectric grease on the ends so it'll make it easier to remove the next time, and it also helps seal out moisture & dust.

Thanks, that did the trick
