How do you change a spark plug boot?

I have a straight boot on one of the plug wires and its sitting on the header i was wondering how to replace it with a 90 degree boot. Can someone please tell me step by step how to do it. Or do i need to buy all new plug wires.

your best bet would be to replace the wires. If they were custom/ cut and boot yourself wires, then just cut off the str8 boot and crimp on the new elbow boot (assuming you have enough length). but wires aren't that pricey and it's a whole lot eaiser to just replace them.

Usually new wires are the best bet - the old ones are probably worn out anyway.



You might be able to find some angle ones that crimp on, but any high-resistance connection (worn wire, bad connection, etc) will cause you to lose spark.
