Re: 1996 Ford Escort (Change Spark Plugs & Wires)

since your going to change the wires you can grab the boot with a pair of long needle nose pliers and pull on it till it comes off. can use same pliers to reinstall new one. if the wire part stays on plug pull it off after wire it removed before trying to pull plug. long extension and plug socket should allow you to access plug without removing alternator. wobble extension or universal may help. i put a bit of the silicone inside the boot and use one of the old plugs and spin it around inside the boot to lubricate the rubber. you don't need to coat the metal part, grease does not conduct electricity
