Sharpen up a small cabinet screw driver and tap tap with a hammer then blow out the pieces.

What a coincidence.
I was struggling with a stuck silicone boot on a sparkplug.
The boot seems to have formed a near permanent connection. Add to this, the plug in just under an Eaton M90 supercharger on a Ford Flathead.
I bought a three piece set of "ring pliers" on Amazon. I hope this will remove the more difficult remaining boot.

I don't know if you want to or not but get a new plug and wires. Even if you need only 1 wire keep the extras to cut and shorten if this happens again. Sometimes that is the best bet instead of fighting it for hours just to end up breaking it.

Welcome to the Forum from Southwestern California, and good luck with that plug boot.
