If you use the recommended tool - a long handled 17mm wrench with a very nice off set which was originally designed to adjust the valves on the M110 engine, it's a pretty easy job to pop those plug covers/connectors off.

It also makes it easier if you remove the spark coils first. It provides a firmer and safer place (the engine head) to use as your lever fulcrum.
