Thanks for responding.

I got the lubricant for the wires. I also read up on changing plugs and bought some anti seize compound too for the threads. Something i didnt even know was an issue...

The boots dont snap onto the plugs though like you described, and used a considerable amount of force trying. The rubber boot holds to the plug, but there's no metal on metal snap on. The car runs fine, so maybe i'm just being paranoid by pressing the issue. I just want to be sure though. The plugs are the Bosh Platinum+2's. Any chance they are the wrong size???

Thanks again for your time...
