I think this is more of a problem with the wires than the plugs.  I
had this trouble for the first time this weekend.  The wires were the
light blue NGK replacements, and the plugs were NGK with the grooved 
center electrode.  The boots came off of the wires and were a real pain
to remove.  Luckily I kept my old set and we were able to salvage the
boots from them.  They are glued on now.
