I can't seem to get the socket past the rubber tube on each plug in order to remove each one. It is so fustrating. Does anyone have any ideas???
I am having trouble changing the spark plugs on my 2001 ford explorer. Any ideas?
Rubber Tube? Sounds like you pulled your spark plug wire right out of the boot? The rubber boot should of come off with the wire. If it pulled out of the wire, then you will need to replaced the ignition wires.

once you have pulled the spark plug wire(the right angle boot should stay attached) there will be nothing left between your socket and the plug.
The easiest way to remove the plug wires on that vehicle is with long needle nose pliers that have a 90 degree angle at the end, which closes into a circle shape. Use those needle nose to squeeze as low as possible on the boot around the spark plug and wiggle it as you pull the wire off the spark plug. If you pulled the wire out of the boot and the boot is still on the spark plug, it is too late to be careful now, unless you are handy with repairing a broken plug wire. I would recommend the wires if you damaged them.
the girl is right the guys are dumbasses you ****** up like she said and you need to replace your spark plug wires but........but listen carfully if you havnt already done this your car will have a sertain fireing order do not i repeat do not take them all off at once plez dont you'll make it worse for yourself........ok your looking at your engine from the front start on the right bank go from back to front and then there well be one wire going from the center of the distributer to a coil that should be easy oh and dont strip your heads when putting the plugs in then your ******
