The boots tend to get stuck on the ceramic coating of the plugs because of heat. Try to twist the boot until you feel it break loose and turn freely. A good pull should then un-clip it from the spark plug.

When going back on with your lower boot, apply some dielectric grease to the inside of the boot. This will help keep them clean and from sticking to the plugs.
