I have tried to pull these puppies off and they are adhered really good. I pulled a front one off using pliers and twisting but that might buggers up the boots in the back due to lack of space. Any hints?

Hello,

The back wires are little tricky to get out due to lack of room.
Try using a spark plug wire removal tool (see diagram below). It can make it a little easier. You will still have little room to work with but it can help will pulling out the wires without damaging them.

Here is a helpful video:

I have included the replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
