Spark plugs

I'm in the middle of changing my spark plugs and it seems as if they are the origional plugs and wires. I am having trouble getting the wires off of the plugs it seems as if theyre glued on but there not...I got all 3 of the front ones changed and one of the back ones but i cant seem to get the last two off...Any suggestions would be appriciated...thanks
 


Crank on them until they come off...you should be replacing them anyway. The back ones seem to get stuck on there easier, and of course they are harder to get to.
 
i am replacing both the plugs and wires...ive been wiggleing and yanking and they still dont wanna come off
 
Yeah they can be a royal b*tch sometimes...I used a o2 sensor wrench and took out the o2 to give me a bit more room, plus I didn't want to rape my hand on it either ;) You can also try spark plug wire pliers that you can pick up at a auto parts store for cheap if you can't do it with your hands.
 


i gave up for the night...i saw somewhere that i should spray some wd40 on there so imma try that tomorrow or after i get back from work for the weekend
 
Since you are changing both the wires and plugs just rip them off with some pliers. Even if the ceramic on the plug breaks you can still get a wrench on it. To prevent this from hapening in the future and to make taking them off easier put some electric grease or just regular grease on the inside of the plug boots that way you won't have any problems taking them off next time. :)
