PR Boot Removal Help

[BOosted 335i]

Wanted to check my plugs and having a issue removing my PR Coil boot from my plugs.they are on very tight and my boots sit little inside the plug hole,whats the best way to remove them?

Like it tore in half and the rubber piece is still on the plug?
I used thin long nosehead pliers to get it off and out.

nothing ripped(yet)i tried pulling up by the round boot but was afraid to put force as to it might rip

I don't have them personally but I heavily considered them and spoke to PR about them a lot. My understanding is you lift up the "skirt" to help break suction, and then pull from the base (aka the part under the skirt, at the top of your plug cylinder)

Well,I tried that and boot came out but left part of the inside on plug.looks like I'm up sheets creek.

Time for a new set of PR wires. ($70)
The new ones are an upgrade over the old ones. Make sure to put dielectric grease (a.k.a., silicone grease) between the rubber boot and ceramic insulator of the plug.

Why not spray wd40

I bought the same grease, and it caked up and got a little stuck. I used wd40 and it came out.

I used what was recommended.nothing caked up at all.in this case I don't think that caused a issue.as you can see.

If you look in 1st post you can see it on the plug number 1,was stuck on their.

I had this happen to me with their original wires. The new ones seem much better. Contact them and they will work with you to get you a replacement wire or set.

I have the original wires. They keep popping off the plugs. Anyone have that problem?

New wires fit much better.

I did have an issue with several of my wires being pulled through improperly by the factory, meaning that they had to really be shoved in for the plug to clip on. This resulted in the plug and wire popping off, which is not good.

Sent photo proof and got new wires, no more problems.
