Default Spark Plugs Won't Budge

Hey. I have a 2000 CBR F4 and am trying to change the spark plugs but they won't budge. Any ideas on how to safely remove spark plugs that are on too tight? I really don't wanna have to take it to the shop and spend a fortune since I already took everything apart myself. Thanks...

Your using a wrench in combination with the spark plug tool right?

I would agree with Nauree, you probably just need a bigger wrench. About the only other thing would be if they got cross-threaded somehow, but then your gonna be in deep *&$# anyhow. If you think they could be contaminated at all from something you could spray a little pb blaster down the holes and let sit overnight, but i doubt thats your problem.
