    You can even buy Spark Plug Boot Remover tools as well. Most of your auto parts store should carry them.
    Those usually only end up leaving you with busted knuckles and a still stuck on boot. They're great if the boots are only sort of on there, but as soon as they are stuck, it's a no go.

    I appreciate the fix.

    I only wear gloves when I'm tugging on something, knowing i'm about to bust my hand. The gloves come on and off non-stop.
