I can't get these plug boots out!

[Metallicat]

No matter how hard I pull, the plug boots are not moving. There is very little room to work with to begin with, and they have never been off in the 15 years I have owned this sled. This is an 08 Vector. I have read the suggestions here but I don't see a clear path at the moment. Any advice? Thanks all!

Rotate the boots so you can gently pry up under the wire connector with a pry bar, once they lift a bit they will come off. That’s the only way I found to get them off during my Apex days.

I was afraid that would break them but will try (gently).

Keep the pry bar against the boot while prying up, they don’t need much to pop off. I took mine off plenty of times doing it this way.

Yes!!! That worked! Thank you so much! I figured changing plugs once every 16 years might be a good idea.
