Kris , just give the boot a 90 degree twist to free it up from the cap and then pull the boot straight off. Some are on pretty snugly but they come off . If you really have that much trouble getting them off then remove the fan and fan shroud first, then remove the dist. cap with the wires attached, then take your resistance readings from the terminals on the backside of the cap. Remember the plug wires are solid conductor so they have very little resistance in them, its the ends of the wires that have the resistance in them. 5K in the plug end and 1k in the Dist. end for a total of 6k ohms resistance on each wire.
