I just changed plugs today and all of the adapters came out with the plugs. To get the plugs out of the adapters, I put a 7/8” deep socket with a hex on the bottom into a vice, then use a 5/8” deep socket to remove the plug. Keeps from damaging the adapters by putting them directly into the vice.
Pretty similar to what I do. Seems like they should come out easier though.
