So I was doing a tune up on my 94 GT, and as I was changing out the wires on cylinder 2 the wire fell apart. The little rubber boot thing is still down the well around the spark plug. What is the best way to get it out? I don't have any needle-nose plyers that can reach, nor does Lowes or HD have any. I also tried to use a wire hanger to jimmy it out, but nothing. I am out of ideas.
Also, any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening again? Thanks |

I tried the needle nose pliers but all the ones I found were either too short, or too wide for the hole.
