Removing the spark wire from the coil
I was removing spark wires from the 30V coil tonight, and wouldn't you know it, one just wouldn't come off, and when I kept on trying, the wire and boot cover comes off but the metal connector remains plugged into the coil!
Okay, I then used a pliars on the metal connector and finally got it out. But, what is the proper way to pull out these connectors without pulling on the wire, because I was trying very hard to avoid doing that, but there was very little metal under the rubber cover after the 90 degree turn to grab onto, and you can only pull out on the rubber cover which always puts some tug on the wire.
Also, is there a way to reattach these and repair the wire? Cause otherwise I have to buy an expensive 6-wire set, but I only need one wire and then what am I going to do with the other 5?

check resistance.
This car has apparently sufferred 2 defective coils already.
It occurs to me now that it may be possible to do these resistance tests without removing them from the coil by sticking a probe under the rubber cover.
Still, if there is a proper way to remove them safely, I'd like to know how.
