I have a 2003 Chevy Avalanche 5.3L with those nasty spark plug boots with metal shields on them. Lots of suggestions on getting those out. I saw your video and went to HFT to buy the hose pliers. The 3/4" pliers fit the groove in the shield perfectly. A few wiggles while pulling and they were off. Some plugs were difficult to get to and angles were not ideal but the pliers still worked. Great idea.
Glad it helped👍
So in other words have the right tools.
Thanks bud, great video 😊
Thanks, I appreciate it
Very informative thank you!
Spend them around a few times and they come right off heat the engine a little bit tfs
Great informative video 🎉🎉
I don't see how the penetration oil does anything since it needs to go up inside the boot.
Its called penetrating oil for a reason, there is a small gap where the cable meets the boot and it will soak through there
The boots r stuck on my 4 banger , 3 boots got stuck 🤦🏻♀️ & I took off the valve cover thinking I can take it out
Bro, I have an 04 impala 3.8l that spark plug boots ripped in half and I broke a couple of precision screw drivers. I cannot afford to go buy those pliers, do you think I use some vice grips?
You need to make sure you can get a good grip on the circumference of the boot or you’ll just rip it.
@Phillips Vision that is why I thinking vice grips or channel locks. I was trying needle nose and just pulled piece after piece. That use if the Itty bitty screw driver was just jamming it along the old spark plug trying to rip off the rest of the boot
Great vid thank you much for it!
Nice job
👍
New sub tfs
Dealing with those boots with those heat shields on buick v6. The 3 in the back by the firewall there so stuck on they won't pop off the spark plug. So annoyed. 1 wire ripped off the boot. There siezed so much! Barely any room I used wd40 2 diff kinds. Pliers. Needle nose to grab it and pull but not alot of room to work with .
Did you get the job done? Currently doing a v6 Buick myself. I have the two on the passenger side in the back to finish tomorrow
@@jonfavale yes I asked for help the mechanic across the street used these pliers , there like boot or plug pliers he got them out easy but the cylinder 6 boot would not come out. All 3 in the back such a pain
@@ThatColorado cool. Yeah I was able to get cylinder 6 out. Still have the other 2 at the back to do tomorrow. I’m so sore from the other 4 😂
@@jonfavale yeah apparently these pliers make it simple , there called hose grip pliers. I have them on Amazon I gotta buy them but he used those and the 3 boots in the back came out easy lol I was mad I tried for hours myself lol. The front 3 are easy tho
@@ThatColorado thanks, I’ll see if I can find one of those locally. I have something similar but not exactly like that.
Can I use brake cleaner instead of penetrating oil??
Yes, it should do the same
chevy's are just a pain in the ass
Can I use wd40 instead of penetrating oil?
You can try but WD40 is not a lubricant. It's a solvent. Mostly it's just mineral spirits.
If they are stuck the no reason to save them.
Yes there is. The other end may lead to a very difficult place to get to
