how do i replace the spark plug boots on a 2000 ford crown victoria?

Q.how do i replace the spark plug boots on a 2000 ford crown victoria?
Answer There are no spark plug boots on this vehicle. This vehicle has "Coil-On-Plug" ignition coils, and the rubber boots are built into the bottom of each coil.
Addition How do I replace them?
Answer You will have to replace the entire coil-on-plug to replace the boots. They do not sell the boots seperatly, becuase they are a built-in part of the coil.
Remove the air cleaner outlet tube
Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil.
Remove the bolt.
Twist the coil left and right and then pull up to remove the ignition coil.
Addition I have coil on plug boots that were sold to me separately so I'm a little confused. Also what is the dielctric grease for?
Answer I'm surprised, i didn't think they sold them seperatly. The dielectric grease is so the boot will not stick to the spark plug. Over time dirt/condensation/heat will make the rubber boot "stick" to the spark plug making it much tougher to remove the coil. "dielectric" means it will conduct electricity and no interfere with the transfer of spark from the coil to the plug. To be perfectly honest, this isn't a "normal" routine maintenance job you "need" to perform. Usually the coil is replaced on a "need-to" basis, and when you get a new coil, it comes with new rubber boots, and pre-loaded with dielectric grease.
