Mojoe Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I'm changing the plugs on the Legacy and the friggin plug wires won't come off. It looks like they should just pop off with 2 fingers pulling on them. Tip? How to's? http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/IMG_0887.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 After a quick search on Nasioc, it appears that you pretty much just "pull" the wires loose. Some mentioned that it often takes a bit of work to get them off. Then you'll need like an 8" extension to reach the plug itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeah, plug wires are a biotch sometimes. I have had to put my entire body weight into getting them off in the tiny ass space they give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yep it takes a bit of force to get them off. But they do come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Try pulling fast and hard and from different angles. Seems to 'break the suction' almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 try turning the plug wire in its place first, to loosen it up. then pull them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 The rubber boot was a pain to get a grip on. After diverting to a common RX 7 tool I use, it was quite easy. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/plyers.jpg I have a tendency to break things. So, I hesitate a little on the car with things I have not messed with. Over all, just as easy as Spaceghoast told me it would be months ago. Changed the oil and fixed a heat shield rattle. So the DD got some attention today. Might even wax it tomorrow. Thanks for the input guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
