- Disconnect the spark plug wire from the distributor.
| • | Twist each spark plug boot 1/2 turn. |
| • | Pull only on the boot or use a tool designed for this purpose

Installation Procedure
Notice: If the boot to wire movement has occurred, the boot will give a false
visual impression of being fully seated. Ensure that the boots have been properly
assembled by pushing sideways on the installed boots. Failure to properly
seat the terminal onto the spark plug will lead to wire core erosion and result
in an engine misfire or crossfire condition, and possible internal
damage to the engine.
- Install the spark plug wires at the distributor.
- Install the spark plug wire to each spark plug.
Important: Wire routings must be kept intact during service and followed exactly
when wires have been disconnected or when replacement of the wires is necessary.
- Inspect the wires for proper installation:
| 3.1. | Push sideways on each boot in order to inspect the seating. |
| 3.2. | Reinstall any loose boot. |
| 3.3. | Any time the spark plug wires or boots are installed on the spark
plugs, new dielectric grease needs to be applied inside the boot. |
