    Something like this, Hitt :)

    Change for your make and model to be sure you get the right one ;)

    It’s a spark plug boot puller

    Oops...NVM, I should've refreshed my screen first. Answered already by 2 people.

    I understand what you folks are saying but these aren't standard plug wires. They have a long tube that goes down inside the block to where the plug is.

    No matter what they call it I'm sure they have a tool. You'll have to ask.

    I called a store by my house and they didn't have anything. I have standard plug wire pliers but need something to pop up the boots. I'll try to just do it by hand.

    It's possible... I did see some reports of USPS having some issues in Michigan.

    I'd say there's definitely problems there...because my package paid a visit to Detroit...for 3 days! Could be a reason Michigan is having so much trouble. A package from TX going to FL...has no business at all being sent to Detroit!

    Don't those just push/pull on the plug?

    Towards the end, he does show putting one back in. Sort of...



    They are supposed to just pull straight up but I was afraid to pull too hard. I will try again this weekend. I just thought it would be easier with a tool to pop them up.

    Not Kia but hubs used to do some that were a real ...... Back plugs by feel only. You couldn't see them. Lots of fun when they all had those stupid boots.

    I bought a magnetic spark plug socket just to do this.

    The ones hubs did took 6 hours. The customer didn’t believe it and said he would wait. We knew the guy so hubs let him stand there and watch. 6 hours later the guy saw it was 6 solid hours of work. Said he never would have believed it.

    Megadesk complete. It is very heavy, but not too unmanageable for 1 person. I'm really satisfied with my stain choices.

    It's 6'3" W x 25" D x 30" H
    And the bonus prize is that it is level, all 8 legs touching too.
    It’s beautiful :) You have a right to be pleased and proud.

    Still waiting on stimulus check (mail)... want to make that BCF order. I cheated and ordered some Z coils and pods (vaporesso Xtra) direct vapor has deals and free shipping over $39... couldn't pass that up (I owe mom $42... I will cover it later) I will pay her $50 to make up for "cheating" ;)
