SERVICE CAUTIONS
1. Twist boots one-half turn before removing.
2. When removing the boot, do not use pliers or other tools that could tear the boot.
3. Do not force anything between the wire and the boot, or through the silicone jacket of the wiring.
4. Do not pull on the wires to remove the boot. Pull on the boot or use a tool designed for this purpose.
5. Special care should be used when installing spark plug boots to ensure the metal terminal within the boot is fully seated on the spark plug terminal and the boot has not moved on the wire.

SPARK PLUG WIRE REPLACEMENT
Spark plug wire routings must be kept intact during service and followed exactly when spark plug wires have been disconnected or when replacement of the spark plug wires is necessary. Failure to route the spark plug wires properly can lead to radio noise and crossfiring of the spark plugs, or shorting of the leads to ground. The correct routing is shown in the images.
