spark plug removal technique or tool?

How do most people remove their spark plug wires from the plug? The boots are on very tight and I had trouble getting them loose. Any suggestions on how to make changing plugs easier?

Use Dialectric grease on the plugs. Works wonders and should always be used. They should pop on and off easy next time around.

Also if you twist the boots slightly before and as you are pulling they will come off easier.

There is a spark plug boot removal tool. It looks like a screwdriver with an open loop perpendicular to the tip. You can place the loop over the plug, and pull upwards. This'll then pull the boot off the plug. Works pretty well. It has saved my hands from getting banged up many times. Try it out.

just spend the damn extra $60 if that and do the wires when doing the plugs. Your car is probably worth the $60.
