Zusammenfassung:	A tool facilitates removing a remnant piece of rubber/insulating material on a spark plug located in a deep engine recess, where the piece is a remnant portion (e.g., a ring portion) of an insulating boot from a conductor assembly formerly attached to a top of the spark plug, but where the remnant portion tore away upon removal of the boot. The tool includes a long shaft, a handle, and a tip configured to slip between or under the remnant piece and the spark plug, where it can be partially rotated to slip under or bite into the piece to forcibly pull the piece out of the recess. The tip includes a sharp corner and a chamfered corner adapted to physically dig into (or slip under) the remnant piece upon the partial rotation of the shaft. A related method is also disclosed. The tool can be a strip of 3/16″× 1/32″ steel, such as an oil dipstick.
