How do I solve this problem?

I was replacing my spark plugs today... I got 5/6 done and when I pulled out the last ignition coil, the rubber piece on the end didn't come off with it, and now it's stuck in with the spark plug... I tried using screw drivers etc. to pull it out, but it won't come out, and with the rubber piece over the spark plug, I can't take the spark plug out. What can I do?

I had that problem when I had my Altima, I believe there's some moisture in between the plug and the rubber cap, just keep prying around the sides of the rubber cap and it will enventually loosen itself.

You could try some wd40 or some other non-flammable solvent to help it release it's grip. Anyway, I hope it works, just from my experiences with the same prob.

That rubber boot is supposed to be glued on that shaft. This is an easy fix. Get yourself some grazy glue. Apply 5 or 6 drops around the area where that boot should be attached. Place the coil pack back on the plug and wait about 10 - 15 minutes for the glue to dry. Pull out the coil pack again and the boot will come up, firmly glued in place, like it's supposed to be.
