Check out Summit raceing ,they have some 8 mm wires that work great and you won't need the shields .

my question is, how do you work with the boot metal insulating shield? does the shield pull back before hand? or do you need to pull the wire/boot first and then get that shield out of the way?

I've done a many tune-ups on other cars, this is the first time seeing a metal shield rather than a soft-sleeve style insulator.

My suggestion, twist the "boot" at the plug to loosen it on the plug then grab hold of the metal shield and pull on it. I effed up once by not doing it like that when I was just going to change the plugs and I grabbed the boot, my hand slipped and ended up pulling the wire and "wasted" it. Ended up with a new set of wires that day

Here are some pics of how they all look like after being pulled out. (Just went to the garage to take one out so I could post the pics) I hope it helps explain how the set up works. The metal shield will pull the boot from the end.

Good luck, Ed

best way is use a long prybar and pry on the raised edge of the metal shield while pulling upwards on the wire toward the prybar at the same time and they will pop right off.
