Hi there!

Does anybody have any tip or trick on how to remove the spark plug wire when it is stuck?
I've tried with the plastic tool in the toolbag, but it just bends out and slips out. I managed after blood, sweat and maybe some tears to remove the right wire, but the left is still stuck.


Ride on!

Try spraying a liberal amount of WD 40 up around the plug and let it soak.

Thanks. That was a quick reply.
I'll try that in the morning (it is 00:07am here...)

Disconnect the wire from the boot before pulling the boot off. When the boot releases from the plug you stand a chance of damaging the wire when you statch it after the slack is out.

After a couple of sprays, I managed to remove the Wire.
Of course when it released, it unhooked from the tool and hit the ground and the lock-mechanism for the wire broke...
Let's hope that some superglue will make it stay in place.
