Having trouble removing spark plugs on my DOHC.

What is your question?

I am replacing the valve cover gasket and have only gotten on spark plug out of it. There is oil on the wire caps, and can't seem to get any of them to come out. I am using a 5/8 socket, which is it calls for. Just need a suggestion.

I have seen the rubber boots at the end of the spark plug wire tubes come off if they are oil soaked. You will need to make a hook out of a close hanger or use a tool like a dentist's scribe t remove the books from the spark plugs so you can get the plug socket over the spark plug.

Thanks again, but I figured out on my own. I am, however, having trouble getting the valve cover off. I know you can't pry it and another forum suggested using a piece of wood and hitting the wood with a mallet or hammer. Any ideas that I haven't tried.
