    Seems it's always a hassle to pull the spark plug boots off the 2.4L without ruining them... Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Put dielectric in them when you have them off.

    A VERY light coat of dielectric grease along with regular maintenance (spark plug changes) should take care of it. I've replaced my sparkplugs roughly every 30k, and I've never had a boot/wire stick to the plug. I think you can buy just the boots.

    Yep, just do as advised. I've never had an issue with mine. I don't change them 30k, more like 60k+. But they always come right off (and get replaced)
