Ripped Spark Plug Boot Stuck in the Tube? Schley 68450 Solves the Problem

Spark plug boots can become brittle, heat-soaked, oil-contaminated, or bonded inside the spark plug tube. When the boot tears during removal, part of the boot can remain stuck deep in the tube, making spark plug service frustrating and time-consuming.
