Well I have been at this for hours now and am stuck.... I went to replace all my valve cover seals and had no problems what so ever until i got to the spark tube seals.. They are completely seized in I went to pull them out and the top of the seals just ripped out leaving the rest in the channel where the new one slides in.. any suggestions as to how i can remove?

 

i use needle nose pliers, get a good grip on them, twist your wrist (which usually breaks them loose) and pull them out. If that doesnt work use a small flat head screw driver or something dig them out.

 

Yeah I have been digging at them for 2 hours now. I used needle nose pliers first and the just kept tearing apart in peices. is there anything i can spray them with the desolve or eat them away?
