plug wires...help! So I was changing out my stock wires with MSD 8.5 wires I managed to break some wires off at the plug boot on the passenger side. I cant figure out for the life of me how to get these out, I even broke my plug puller tool! damn this is a pain in the ***!
Just rip em apart with some long needlenose pliers.
I usually just pull the coilpacks. That'll give you a little more hand room.
Oh yeah, when you put the new one's on, be sure to apply that spark plug jelly or whatever it's called on there. It's that stuff that's at the autozone checkout counter for 99 cents. That'll keep it from happening next time.

I had a similar problem with my '89 Grand Prix (3.1 v6, the sideways one). Rotated the engine and stuff, used my boot pliers and all, finally got mad and ripped the wire out of the boot, got a utility knife and cut the boot, then some small needle nose pliers worked fine for bending the connector off from around the spark plug. Spark plug was ceased in there too, sucked (I didn’t put them in, so it wasn’t me who over torqued them). Took about 2 hours of playing with the plug with a 2 foot breaker. Finally came out, glad I didn't have to machine it out. Sorry for digressing.
