One of my coworkers has a 2004 Tahoe with a 5.3 Vortec and is wanting to change the spark plugs. He messed with it the other day and couldn't get the boots off. I went out and looked at it a few minutes ago and the boots have a metal collar around them....is there something special needed to remove the boot from the plug? He and I both tried to pull them off like an older 350 but they did not budge. I have never worked on anything this new...lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
