Spark Plug replacing went bad!!

Hi I was replacing spark plugs. The rubber grip from the socket came off and attached to the plug. Now it is jammed tight on the spark plug inside the engine. How do I get it out? Any idea? Pls help!! Thanks!

If you can't pick it out of there with something, then just remove the plug again with the same socket. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Actually the rubber grip was misaligned inside the engine. When using the same socket to remove the plug, it has this spongy feel to it. There is no grip. Also, I tried to use a long plier, but it was 5 inches deep and there was not much room to work with. I have also tried using valcumn cleaner with strong sucking power--DIDNT WORK!! Alternately, someone has suggested to me that to leave it in and fire up the engine. The heat from the engine will melt the rubber leaving me with just the spark plug and some melted rubber. Is this a good idea? Thank you

Don't think melting the rubber is a good idea. Have you tried using picks? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Problem solved!!! Thank You for the idea. Unfortunately, Honda/Acura engine are made too compact for any of these picks to fit in. Nevertheless, the idea seems to be right. So I modified your idea and bought some fishing hooks ;and yanked it out of there. Thanks again,

The picks would have worked. We use them all the time and we are quite familiar with Honda spark plug tubes and how much room they have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Good job getting it out of there. Just remember, "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends' nose." Closing as solved. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
