I always try to grab 'em so that you are pulling on the boot AND the
connector (squeeze the boot where the connector is- might take a bit of

Luckily, Triumphs have enough room around the plugs to let you do this!
Not so with my other cars. I notice that the Chevette wires have *really*
sturdy looking boots though.
