So I was doing a tune up on my 94 GT, and as I was changing out the wires on cylinder 2 the wire fell apart. The little rubber boot thing is still down the well around the spark plug. What is the best way to get it out? I don't have any needle-nose plyers that can reach, nor does Lowes or HD have any. I also tried to use a wire hanger to jimmy it out, but nothing. I am out of ideas.
Also, any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening again? Thanks |

The worst case scenario is you'll have to remove the valve cover so you can get to it. And the best way to prevent that from happening again is by changing your wires as scheduled, if you do that, you'll be doing it before the rubber boots start to crack and deteriorate.
