Penetrating oil and patience with a pair of Vise-Grips often works, and you can also crank the engine over with the plugs loose. Compression will often pop them the rest of the way out. If you break a tip off and it falls into the cylinder, pull the injector out and a small magnetic parts retriever will usually pick the tip up. Pulling the heads usually isn't necessary.
