How Do You Remove Spark Plug Boots Without Damaging Them?

I’ve been tinkering with my car for a while, and I’m getting ready to change the spark plugs. Last time I did this, I ended up damaging the boots because I didn’t have the right tool.

I remember a buddy mentioning something about a spark plug boot removal tool, but I didn’t pay much attention back then. Now, I’m thinking it might be worth investing in one to make the job easier and avoid any mishaps.

Has anyone here used a spark plug boot removal tool? Is it really that helpful, and if so, any recommendations on which one to get? I don’t want to mess things up again

Those are usually sold as a single piece. It is possible to take off the “boot,” but for that type of coil, you usually replace the whole thing.

I once swapped spark plugs and, like you, ended up with damaged boots because I didn’t have the right tool. A spark plug boot removal tool is a lifesaver! It makes the job smoother and keeps things from getting damaged. I’ve used one from [Brand X] and it worked wonders—definitely worth the investment. Avoiding the hassle and potential damage is so worth it
