Changing my plugs at the moment - no way can I get the rubber plugs off - no matter how hard I pull any ideas?

undo the bolt that holds the coil/plug lead on .it is a 10mm look and thee shal find

nope - not on a MY00 - no bolt, though I can see the screw thread on the head where it would go on other model years

done it

that was hard - glad I don't have to do that again for a while - hopefully by then my knuckles will have regrown their skin
