Just pull them mate. They can be a bit stubborn. If they're that stuck I suspect that the plastic insulor sleeve may be split. Thats what
happened to mine and they were hard to get out.

Had to replace them with some off an E engine off Ebay. I did try to re insulate them by putting a layer of insulation tape around them but they still
wouldn't fit. I think water gets into them and it rusts, expands and splits the casing. Had to replace all of mine in the end.

MisterG, thanks for the replies. I managed to get all the coil plugs out over the weekend, without any breaking - result.
Fitted some new iridium spark plugs and she goes like stink.
