Just tried changing the plugs on my up and I can't pull the coil packs off the plugs, I've summoned as much power as I can and the rubber bit just stretches and stretches , i don't want to rip the rubber bit off the coil pack, has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas ?

It has been said that a little bit of silicon grease on the inside of the sleeves (on reassembly) may help next time.
Has anyone had problems doing that?
It should in theory be non-conductive and not damaging to the 'rubber' sleeve.

At the moment its the electrical connection at the top that is causing me a problem, that little peg. Maybe not being forceful enough, but then I don't want to break anything.
I see on YouTube getting the coil rubber out can be a pain too, I wondered whether a shot of silicone spray may be ok. What is the long spring down there for?
