if they've been on there a while, you just need to pull harder - the rubber boot sometimes gets stuck to the inside of the hole...

on a similar note, anyone have good experiences with aftermarket plug wires? what fits?

Im not sure but I think the wires I have on mine are aftermarket type and I also think they are much inferior to the OEM's because of the problem I'm having with them..the rubber grommet separates from the center wire at the top and there is nothing to pull on..because the top grommet is not connected to the center part (if you can understand what i'm trying to say)..then once that is off and you try to pull on the wire housing all it wants to do is break off in little pieces..WONDERFULL!!

Thanks for your reply...
