    What is the best way to remove the caps from the spark plugs,
    Just pulling the wire does not feel to be the best thing to do.
    Is there a special tool to grip the cap itself without damaging it ?

    Yes. Ferrari makes a tool for it and it works quite well.

    ...Of course if you use the tool is easier but, if you turn the wire (left/right) a bit and then pull it slowly it is not that difficult.
    Don't use any tool with sharp ends. Whatch your finger nails!!
