You should be able to get a flat head screwdriver under the lip of the boot and pry it up.
On my car, the rubber boot was stuck on the spark plug and the plastic pulled out.
I had to reach down into the hole with the coat hanger to try to get the damn thing off of the plug.
I took me over an hour of fussing around.
You probably need a new coil now, I don't think you can just stick the wire back into the boot.
Yeah, still have the spring.
I'll mess around with it tomorrow morning and let you know how it goes.
Probably will have to cut up the rubber part in order to get pliers.
If I had an air gun I could blow air into the hole and it would probably pop out. May try a bike pump before I cut up the rubber.
Can't get needle nosed pliers in. I tried warming the car up and then using a bicycle pump to pop it out. No joy.
It is due for a timing belt (which is not something I am will to tackle). Shop would have to get this off for a timing belt. So, I am gonna punt and let the shop take care of it.
I tried one more time. This time I was going to use my air compressor/tire inflator.
I warmed the car up till the engine was hot and not just warm.
Thing pulled right out. No need to use the air compressor
One of the spark plugs was very loose and another spark plug was Denso, while the other 3 were NGK??? Not sure how that happened, maybe last time I forgot to change one plug?
I wasn't getting any misfire codes so...
But should run better now.
Here's a video I found interesting about the relative quality of coils. The YouTuber equates the ability to take the coils apart to their quality if I remember correctly.
yes of course you can try to unscrew it, try with a screw of a suitable diameter. I think this will help. I can advise a good place to buy ignition coils for ford f150 davesoilchange.com/ignition-coils-for-ford-f-150/, by the way, I also take candles there if you change
