    Spark plug wires stuck??

    Ok, my car has some Accel wires on it, they were on there when I got it. Well I went to paint the valve cover today only to discover that no amount of pulling will free the plug wires from the valve cover. Is this car just wierd? Does you have to do something special to remove them? I tried pulling with all of my might and none of the 4 will budge.

      no, I've had that happen before. What I'm saying is that the wires won't even break. They're really tough and no amount of pulling on them will cause them to break or come loose. It's really wierd.

        The heat from the sparking makes the tip of wires and plugs expand then they contract when cooled, it they were on too tight i think they can get welded together if they get hot enough, this is just speculation(sp).

          My spark plug wires were the same when I got my Accord. They ripped in half when I finally resorted to using a pair of channel locks to grip them to pull them out. They were all swollen and fused - I'm guessing because of heat. I'd keep pulling, there's no trick to these wires. Just have a new set on hand.

            Can you get them to move in any direction? Side to side? Back and forth? When I went to replace mine they were stuck a little but I moved them side to side a few times and they then popped right out. And like the previous post said, "the heating up and then cooling down tightened the gap between the wires and the plugs." I could see on the wires where this had happened. Hopefully this will help. Later
