Wow! Scrape all the plastic possible with a flathead or whatever you can get in there. Then go from there.

Long skinny flathead and a coat hanger. Then vacuum it all out so it doesn't fall in.

i would take a spark plug socket on an extension beat it on with a hammer. once u get it on take the extension off and use a vacuum to get the broken plastic up and take it out.
