Pulling Spark Plug Wires

I went to examine spark plugs on my '92 300TE but the wires were VERY hard to pull off. I did not have the special tool and gave up, not wanting to damage anything.

Another poster said he had to use a vise grip on his.

Is it usually this difficult to pull those suckers off?
How should I proceed?

Also, has anyone had problems installing the Beru wire set?

I read someone said his Beru wires did not come with the wire number markers or the rubber sheathes that the wires pass through.

The wrench doesn't get the wires off the plugs, silly.
