Spark Plug Boot Removal Plier

[abbey castro]

So after fighting for several hours I was able to remove 6 sparkplug boots, The other 2 will rotated a little but will not pop out. I see there are dozens of different shaped pliers for removing the boot. I have a ZZ4 with the angle plug heads and Hooker Comp long tubes. Any idea which tool would be best suited so that I don't have to guess and get one that doesn't fit!

$13 Oriellys ones have worked great for me. Can get the boot straight on or at a 90°.

I've been looking for something like this...

KNIPEX 8 in. Long Nose Pliers with Grabber 38 91 200 - The Home Depot

The KNIPEX Mechanics Pliers have a 45° bent nose to work in tight areas. They are also suitable for grabbing spark plugs and spark plug covers. The high-strength half-round jaws are great for gripping

I have a bunch of Knipex Tools, best in the world. I didn't know Home Depot sells them, must be just on line. I haven't seen them in stores. Thanks for the recommendation.

Put some dielectric or silicone grease on the boots to save time and effort later.

I do that to all mine, some dry out depending on how much heat they get.

The tool I posted works great so see if abbey castro can find one and use it. Don't need anything crazy for this.

I bent the crap out of mine to the point that they don't work anymore. Was looking at getting some of these.

How so? If I'm saying I use it, and it works, then apparently the canary already exists..
