Cylinder 5 Misfire - ECU On

I checked my cylinder 5. It's the rear one near the TB right?
Well, the boot on the COIL PACK fell inside. So when I pulled out the coil pack, the boot that is on it, is stuck inside around the spark plug. The coil pack plugs in well though.

Is there any way to get it out, or is this even a problem?

My main thing is getting the boot out to see if that's the problem.

...have you tried pliers? Needle nose? Forceps? A stick with superglue? Taking off the valve cover and pulling out the spark plug tube?

Every tool box should have a flexible claw.

Easiest way is to put some crazy glue around the coil pack stem, put the coil pack back onto the boot, let stand 10-20 min, then pull up on it. The boot should be glued back onto the coil so it wount happen again. More of a fix to do it that way.
