I recently replaced three of those on my 1993 300E2.8 - they just pulled out.
They did take a bit of force, but mine just pulled out with a very satisfying 'slurp-pop' noise (best way to describe it, I'm afraid).
I'll go ahead and ditto Kestas' comment about the dielectric grease and the anti-sieze compound - inexpensive to buy, and a real timesaver later on.
