I have had similar difficulty as others removing the bottom detachable portions of the plug boots. 3 of 4 were stuck and 2 of them were damaged when using long needle nose pliers to pull them out. My question is are these bottom pieces really needed? What is their purpose? Can I just reinstall the boots without the bottom piece? Other than the bottom piece the wires are fine and in good shape.

Probably new wires would be a good idea anyway. does the engine have a distributor? if so I think a cap comes attached and a rotor would be good too. Try running the engine for a couple of days and see.But being a 93 it could be good to get new parts
Use boot grease to prevent this problem on your new wires
Do you have valve cover gasket leaks? Those always ruin spark plug boots.

Yes. Those pieces of the valve cover almost always fail and destroy plug wires and boots.
