I have a couple COP boots that are stuck on the plugs. I pulled on them pretty hard, but I'm afraid I will damage them if I pull any harder. I was thinking of shooting some WD-40 down around the outside of the boots and letting it soak for a while. Should I try twisting them, or just pull straight up? It sure would suck if part of it broke off and stayed on the plug. Not sure how I would get that off. Any suggestions?

Twist side to side a few times before pulling it up. Worse case, Ford sells just the boot so you don't need a new COP.

What are the chances of it beaking off in there?

If you twist it side to side a few times first and feel it turning on the plug, very rare that they break. You'll be ok, go for it.

I've had a couple pop off of the coil on the way out. Just do what they said above and give it a few twists from side to side and you should be
