Are you referring to the steel shrouded extenders?
If so, then look at the construction you will see the steel is in 2 halves with the joining edges folded over. Along the folded edge there is a notch. Turn the extender around until the folded edge is closest to the cylinder head casting. Use a large straight bladed screwdriver and put the edge of the blade in between the slot in the extender and the head casting ....then twist.

I find the easiest way to remove a stuck extender is to make a lasso from a 60cm or so piece of nylon cord. Fit the lasso just under the curved neck of the extender and pull upwards in line with the orientation of the plug.
