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 |

Removing the VC isnt going to help anything, the spark plug ports drop threw to the bottom of the head, all you'll be doing is exposing the cams and have the same problem. Id try a coat hanger with a very small kink at the end and try and snag the edge. Be care full not to damage the inside of the hole.
