Thanks, I'll go with it as is.
Hello I need to the site I have a 04 Chevy avalanche and I'm also having issues with getting the old wires of the old spark plugs and has no aluminum around the wires and they are hard to pull out or like damaged away pulling them out so I can change out my plugs?
Cherry one for your suggestions, I will let you know of the outcome when it's all done..Replace the old wires.
I would imagine they are original and at close to 20 years old, they are long past overdue.
I usually try to replace spark plugs and wires around 100K miles or so.
I prefer to stick with OEM wires and spark plugs over aftermarket, but I'm sure there are plenty of good ones out there.
On really stuck old wires that I do not intend to keep, I just grab a pair of channel lock pliers and go after it.
Just try to not smash the heat shields on the plug boots or snap the spark plug in half.
Grab hold of the wire itself and tug away.
And when you reinstall, slather that dielectric grease into the plug boots for good measure.
And, of course, that right rear one is going to be a booger, regardless.
Best of luck with your repair.
