The plug wires on my 1995 Ford Ranger 6 cylnder are soooo hard to get
off especially the passenger side , is there a tool or trick to getting
them off without damaging them?

A spark plug boot puller should always be used to avoid damage to the
wire end. They are very inexpennsive.

SOmetimes this does not even work as they kinda fuse on there at
times. When you replace plugs put a little silicone grease inside
boots and the will not stick on again.

Sure is.. a spark plug puller.
Dont forget to twist before and while pulling.

A little word to the wise....do not ever put just any old silicone grease
inside the boot. You must only pu a di-electric grease. The reason that you
want to use a di-electric grease instead of silicone grease is b/c it
conducts electricity, where as silicone grease does not, this will definitly
cause a misfire......Just an FYI!

Hmmm.....Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with all of the above.
