... believe it or not, the factory plug wires have connectors in the end
that attaches to the spark plug.  If you pull the wire away from the spark
plug connector you'll find that you can pull the wires out of the loom
without having to cut anything ... unless of course the new wires you're
installing don't have some way to pull one or the other of the connectors
off.  

HTH!
