The boot is only a dust cover, it should slide so you can make sure you have the electrode seated properly. The boot isnt attached at all it just slides over. The length of the wire never changes its as long or short as its going to be be from electrode to electorde.

Also many people dont seem to realize it or take advantage of it but the spark plug end (boot) is mulit directional. You can bend it to any angle you want.
