Ignition coils stuck in spark plug tubes

This sounds extremely dumb, but it's true and I'm not sure what to do about it. 

My 2005 v35 skyline was misfiring, found out to be oil in the spark plug holes getting into ignition coils. 

I didn't have the $800 for the genuine valve covers at the time and I read a temporary solution was to use rtv and seal the coilpacks in the spark plug tubes. I don't know if that was a troll but it worked for about 3 months, now it's back misfiring and the one coil I could get out had oil in it. The others I've tried to pull out but the boot is stuck inside the spark plug tube because of the silicon ?

Has anyone ran into this before and any suggestions how I can get it out without damaging the coil boot?

Alright guys, if anyone else has this issue in the future. I bought some CRC Gasket Stripper. Sprayed it down the sides of the spark plug tube let it soak for a minute or two and I could pull the boot straight out. 

Good work, very lucky

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
