    Default Removal of Spark Plug Leads.

    Hey guys! Have done a search on the forums; and can't find out how to remove these buggers from the block.

    It's an extremely silly question; I know... But I thought i'd spend 2 minutes writing this and waiting for an answer rather than going all out and breaking them!

    I've tried pulling, I've tried twisting. I just can't seem to get the leads off the plugs!

    Is there a special technique? Or am I doing something wrong?

    Thankyou, and my apologies for the stupidity of this thread. It's almost Signature worthy Haha!

    Dan.

    They might be a little hard to remove if they have been there a while. I've always succeeded by twisting and pulling. Just make sure you do it from the boot and not the lead part.

    Grab it from down lower on the plug.. Pretty much where the spark plug sits in it and pull
