July 20, 200421 yr Maybe I'm just retarded... I've never seen plug boots like those on my 2003 Outback. They appear to have "wings" on them for easy removal and the manual just says to grab and pull. Now when I start pulling, the boot stretches way out to the point that it looks like it is going to tear. I eventually got mad enough that I twisted and yanked, but still to no avail...I figure at this rate something is going to break. Is it normal for the boots to stretch out before finally popping free? Am I missing something here? How do I remove the boots so I can replace the plugs?!

It is basically pliers with plastic ends that do not damage the boots.
