Heaps of crc on a slightly warm engine, leave for 10 minutes & spray some more crc, then try 5 minutes later

Why not, excess can be washed out later

grip low down on the base of the boot with pliers and twist, mostly its the very edge of the boot welded to the plug by heat, once you break the weld they slip off easier

and heat shielding the plugs from the exhaust will cure the problem in the future, even heavy duty baking tray ali is enough to stop the direct heat
