Description

I made this tool for my 01 Yukon XL 1500. The spark plugs boots have a heat shield on them and if those boots have been attached to the spark plugs for a few years they can be a pain to remove. This tool works on all the plugs even the ones with minimal space in the back. I printed in PLA and didn't have an issue.
Instructions: Once printed out, slide the open end over the plug wire and expand it enough to slip over the heat shield until the lip settles into the groove. Then take a pair of pliers (I found needle nose vice grips work well for constant pressure so they don't slide off) and something to pry/leverage the boot off.
I plan to make a video of this sometime. I sold my Yukon so I don't have a demo vehicle :(. I plan to get another later on though. I will also be adding this to my Shapeways so anyone without a printer can still get one. https://www.shapeways.com/product/WED3B5S4N/gm-chevy-spark-plug-boot-removal-tool

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
