1988 Toyota Celica ST spark plug wires stuck Sign In

I have a 1988 Toyota Celica ST 2.0L 1998CC L4 FI VIN: S - 3SFE. The radiator cracked and I pull water in and ended up blowing the head. Now my spark plug wires are stuck in the engine and won't budge when pulled. I have a new radiator but I need to take the cylinder head off but can't do it while the wires and plugs are stuck... What do I do?

You have to grab the spark plug wire with some type of pliers that will get a good grip on the top and twist them Once you get them to turn on the plug, they will pull off.

All you can do is get a solid grip as low as possible and pull them off. There are no secrets to this. It's just rubber stuck to the plug.
