Id say just brute force the shot out of them if you have spare but as far as I know they seal and once wriggled enough to break the seal they come free?
 
that is what i thought as they can move there just not coming out its only happening on 1st and 4th i have 2nd and 3rd out already
 
Going to sound dumb, but there is actually a tool for pulling out leads that are tough or too hot to touch, you tried one of these? They can make a huge difference sometimes aha

Actually didn't know about this, ill go get one tomorrow i assume there sold at supercheap or somthing haha thats cool
 
Yeah, I've seen them sold at heaps of places. If you're in Sydney I could lend you mine?
 
Alread did wd40 no help and im in townsville north qld unfortunately kind of sucks i notice the car people from Sydney, melbourne, Brisbane are alot more friendly and helpful
 
Twist the lead side to side and get it moving otherwise break the lead off careful not to damage the spark plug.
 
It would be weird if the leads has fused to the spark plug or something of that nature. I'd say just pliers and wrench the bastards out unless you're re-using them. Perhaps even a screwdriver or similar under the lip and pry them off without damaging the rocker cover. I've had a similar thing happen but I just got more grip onto the lead and pulled, voila.

so funny you would say it would be wired if they fused turns out they have melted onto the spark plugs haha ill post pics when my phone charges
 
The rubber boots around the bottom will be really hard to get out. I would soak with wd then break up the rest of the plastic with a skinny screw driver. If you have access to compressed air you can sometimes blow the rubbish out. Good luck.
 
And this is why i like to remove the leads every now and then, also put abit of electrical grease inside the tube
 
yep it does explain a bit and normally i do to i only brought this a few months ago and was told it had a big service done on it as you can see that was a load haha oh well what do you expect for $200
