I am changing my valve cover gaskets and the kit I bought comes with the tube seals for the spark plugs as well. I got everything off but I can not get the tube seals out, is there a certain way I am suppose to get them out or special tool needed for this? they are leaking into the spark plug is why I am changing them and I have already destroyed one of them trying to get it out but it does not budge. I have been careful not to scratch the valve cover where they go in as well. Any ideas or tips on how to remove them. This is for a 2006 IS350 if that matters or not.
