If '99 still has the distributor, do what the above poster said - twist and shout (when you hit your hand on some hard surface) If they are coil over plug, take and pull out while wiggling it back and forth.

I got a tool from Mopar performance years ago. It works great for pulling plugwires!







Sorry about the huge pics.
