I have 240 - Estate, so may be able to help. Which plugs are referring to?

 

[jim Thornton]

I think it must be 3and 6 spark plugs

Remove the boots from the plugs or leads?

 

[jim Thornton]

From the plugs

 

[jim Thornton]

I've changed 4 cylinders with eight plugs,wondered if there was a difference in the back two when they go around the engine.

How are you trying to remove them? And/or how did you remove the others?

A 17mm open end spanner usually helps with removing the leads

From the plugs

Pliers, with the rounded part of the jaws gripping the boot and rotate back and forth to break the boot's grip on the porcelain.

editPS
Unless its plugs are recessed in which case a bout of vandalism is likely called for.

I saw on one of the forums a chap with the door card removal tool using that,so did the same
