help! spark plug is stuck
 
Ok well long story short, i broke off the top of my spark plug and now the bottom is stuck in there. I loosened it however the socket wont grab the plug like it normally would with the top section still on. Any ideas on trying to get it out? I have tried lifting it with a screwdriver and other things like that but it wont come out. I was thinking about using a magnet but wouldnt it just stick to the sides of the tube? Any help at all would be great!

use a shop vac and duck tape a straw to the end of it, or get some silly puddy ram it on top of it then stick a screw driver in the puddy, pull out, or turn your car upside down...lol

if you opt to choose option 3 call me i want to whatch ...lol...j/k

If its still screwed in, i saw a mechanic use a screwdriver and a hammer and lightly tapped it to turn it and got it out.

Well I finally got it out yesterday after rigging up this little hook thing and getting under the plug and pulling it out. I tried a little magnet thing but there wasnt enough metal to grap on to.
