Changing plugs for first time. Wires don’t want to come off plugs. Any tools or tricks to remove without damage or do I just plan on replacing with new.

Good evening,

Try spraying down the wires with some lubricant. Then twist the wires on the plug to release them and then pull.

If they do not release, then most likely wires will be damaged and will need to be replaced.
