help w/ spark plug wires
is there some damn secret to getting the spark plug wire boot and heat shield off of the plug itself???? trying to uninstall everything for the header install on friday and i just have the manifolds left to take off.... i cant get a good grip on the boot to pull it off the spark plug and on one i accidentally pulled right on the wire and the rubber insulation came off....so now i need new wires which i was gonna get anyway :-) but i still need to get the old wires off

Ok well i got them off but actually had to get them all from underneath the car with a flathead screw driver....i placed it in between the head and the ?metal heat shield? that was on the boot and just twisted the screw just slightly and it popped off enough for me to pull it off from the top... my next question is i ordered MSD wires and i was wondering you guys with the MSD's did you reuse those metal shields that went over all the stock boots? i would really hate to have to use them again.
