Anyone else found that removing the plug caps to be a right b*****d. even split one of the plug caps to get it off as it was corroded to the plug. Is there a special tool needed. £17 for a new plug lead. At least they were sold seperatly.

they should be easy to come off, give them a spray with wd-40, it will keep them lubed slightly and will be easier to come off the next time.
they may have just been on for a while and were mega stiff!

Twist them to break the seal, then pull them off.
