I'm changing the spark plugs on my car and I rip out the wire and the metal connector that connects with the metal wire inside is stuck. The wire and the plug comes out but not the metal, its stuck on the plug. I removed the metal and now I just need to open up the wire so I have direct access to the wire to put the metal in. Does anybody know how to take apart the wire? I have some pictures for reference

Serious?.....pull the rubber boot off the top and the.remaining length of wire will be.hanging....
get some needle nose and pull the metal part off the spark plug....
peel open the wire side of the metal peice and put the wire back in....
make sure the actual part that transfers voltage is on the tab the.sticks into the metal part....
tighten it up slide the tube back on push the rubber top back on

Those wires are glued together. If you try and take it apart you'll only destroy it more. Replace the plug wires...

BTW, its pretty smart when you change plugs, you might as well change wires.
