Uhhhhh???
Unscrew them all the way, and pull them out. If you're having trouble, use your brain and add some duct tape to the inside of the socket. Use your preferred method of application...

If they are loose, you need to replace them now because the crush washers are now dead. (More..)
Use only Bosch FDP0R plugs. Tighten to 22 lb-ft of torque. Check torque in a week after initial installation and then maybe monthly or at least at each oil change (every 3000 miles or 3 months, etc).
If you allow the plugs to come loose, the engine will launch them out of their holes and you will be a very sad and poorer ($$$) S-car owner.

Never had that problem...
Use pliers to get the boots out? How are they stuck in there? Are they in there with the coil packs? Typically they come out with the large plug cover.
