how do you get the ht leads off the plugs without damaging anything? Haynes 
says "hold the fitting and pull them off". Well they wont move; they wont 
even rotate.They are quite hard to grip with the fingers in spite of the 
rubber corrugations at the top of the aluminium tube. I've cahnged the plugs 
on my old metro many times and never had this problem! Any suggestions or 
advice? tia mike

use the special ht boot puller pliers that you need.  an alternate might be 
to make a hook and pull the plug boot from the far end
