Default Best tool I found for pulling spark plug wire.
Reaches between the intake and grabs right at the base of the rubber cap. I was using it to grab a bolt and thought I would give it a try. Really made it easy taking the wires on and off. And the price is right.

Grind the tips down with a dremel tool, and use them to take out the water pump snap ring.

Works first time, every time.

Same ones I use. Work like a charm. I have 2 other spark plug wire pullers but they're not quite long enough to reach between the intake runners.

No home shop is complete without this cheap tool as it saves time and aggravation.

Cheers,
