Smile Ceramic part of Spark Plug wire broke

W124, E420, 1995

I pulled the ceramic part of the spark plug wires to change the plugs. 7 of the 8 worked fine, then that one.

There's nothing to grab. I fear if I pull the wire, it will come off, with the metal end of the wire stuck on the plug.

How do I disconnect the cap over the plug. I'm OK with replacing the wire, but need to make sure I get the old plug out and a new one in.

Thanks so much.

The car is running fine now.

It happens to be plug #8
