Went to change my spark plugs. 6 of them came out fine, two of the boots pulled out but left the rubber cap snug around the spark plug down there, meaning I can't get a socket around it to take it out. If anyone else has faced this before, what do I do? Really really long, really thin needle nose pliers?

Where do I even get a needle nose that long?

Might just try any parts store. There are really long ones out there. Might want to try taking thin long screwdriver and use like a blade to slice thru one side then thru other side and fish it out.Where do I even get a needle nose that long?

You can also find a thin rod, make one end pointy and just tear away at it until it falls apart. Blow the pieces out of the hole with air (while the plug is still in, of course). I did that with SIX of them when the previous owner used cheap wires. The wires were BRAND NEW.
