Spark plugs-leads stuck
Is it a common problem that the ignition lead stick to the plugs?
Is this due to the nearness to the exhaust and hence the heat? I'll have to break the leads to get them off.

I've heard that spraying WD40 on them and letting it soak a while helps with the removal of the leads. My 2 cents. 
I went to Pepboy's (any autopart store) and got a Ford plug removers, work like a champ

Also rub some anti-sieze on the threads of the newer ones...
Anti-sieze - $2.00 at autozone..rub it in, and the next time, the job will be a lot more easier..
