torn rubber hose stuck around spark plug.
Does anyone know the best way to get what looks like a piece of rubber hose stuck around the spark plug in cylinder #4 which has very little room to work.
My teacher for auto tech said to lift up the fuel rail, remove injector #4 to get more room. and maybe take off the heater hoses for even more room. (he did look at it)
I was going to do a compression test but cant until that last spark plug is out.
I have like a little hook connected to a handle, and long needle nose pliers that will reach in the spark plug tube. but cant get that rubber hose out of there.
do y'all guys think I should remove the injector and heater hoses for more room. or what? Thanks

got the piece of rubber hose out. I used air but it didnt work, so I moved one of the heater hoses and used a zip tie to hold it out of the way. then unbolted th right side of the fuel rail and pulled it up, and took off #4 fuel injector, then unbolted the battery fuse bracket from the firewall and pulled it forward. I used a small hook with a handle to get it out. it took about 2hr-2.5hrs to do all of that.
