When I had my head gasket replaced a year-and-a-half ago, the mechanic never reattached the plastic plug pullers for cylinder 3 and 4. Now I'm changing my spark plugs and discovered that they're not there. Is there any way to get those plug wires out and then reattached without the handle? Or can new handles be purchased once I get the plug wires off the plugs?

 

I'm surprised your able to change those plugs without pulling the manifold....

You may end up just pulling the manifold, it's not too hard, the hardest part is dealing with the egr valve and bolts.

the rest is vac hoses, plugs (that you can't Messup there all different) and 1 anti icing coolant hose for the throttle body (I capped mine, because I don't live in Antarctica lol)
