It is not anything the wrench did wrong. They just don't come out . There is no real technique to get them out that is fool proof. I had one , where they all came out. The last one I did, 5 broke.
I have my best luck with the motor HOT, and I use my 3/8" electric impact to walk them out. This only works on the front ones that are easy to access. The rear ones are a pia to get at.
It is the design of the plug. After 75 years of trouble free spark plug design, Ford had to re do it.
Here is what they look like, and how they break.

This is reason # 1 why I will not own a gas Ford truck. Huge pia, that is not a matter of if, but when...
