Tool To Pull Spark Plug Wire From The Plug.

LancerL · August 26, 2015

Guys I need to clean my spark plugs and before removal I tried to pull the wire from the plug and looks like that is tighten a lot with the plug or the chamber.

I there a specific tool to pull this as cannot do this by hand. My engine comes with the deep socket spark plugs.

Ultimately was able to pull it out a while ago.

What I have simply done was brought a 'metal binding string' from a hardware shop, insert it inside the deep, rubber plug base and twisted.

Then the other two ends twisted with a screw driver rod while keeping screw driver horizontal (where I could pull it from my both hands)

It came out without a big hassel.

Method was so simple but took time to get it to my mind as I was busy with finding a tool for it.

Thanks Rumesh and Davy for the post which direct me to think an alternative.

Usually only thing that holds plug wire is the terminal nut of the plug. Even then it should not get stuck. You should be able to pull it out by applying a slight twisting motion while pulling. Are you unable to pull out all four wires or is the problem in one of them only?

I tried all the ways possible including twisting, Didn't try inserting a screw driver as it could damage the wire.

Yes all four are same.

Agree with Rumesh. You shouldn't require any special tool to remove the plugs (unless secured by nut). When high tension leads become older, they sometimes get swollen and get stuck in the plug slot. Applying a bit of extra force will cause them to come off.
