forester plugs

[Bob L.]

Hi,
Is there any trick to removing the spark plug wires from the plugs on a
99 Forester? I'm having a helluva time getting them off!

TIA

Bob L.

Grip boot near cam cover and twist back and forth 90 degrees while pulling.
They will come. Use silicon spray or dielectric spray on the OUTSIDE of the
boot before reinstalling so they come off easy the second time. Plugs are
torqued to 15 foot pounds +/- 2 foot pounds. eddie
