Sounds like your pulling from the wire, you should pull from the boot! I have never heard of any car that solders there wires to the plug.

grab the wire by the boot and twist it back and forth while pulling. It's just stuck on there.

Ive done quite a few plug/wire changes on 3.8 4th gens and every single one that I did the wires were on there good. Im assuming it is from the heat that causes them to get stuck so good, but the only real way to get them off is to pull your ass off. Dont be suprised if the wire breaks off before the boot comes off.
