Try getting some JB Weld and re attaching the broken pieces of the extension back together until it hardens enough to pull out the socket along with the extension. I'm just thinking of what I would try off the top of my head.

WOW, that's a new one on me, I'm 53 y/o.
Short of pulling the valve cover and tearing the tube apart I can't think of anything.
Lots of questions but they all begin with why...
I'm not even sure an easy out could work.

my car was misfiring so i decide to check the gap on the plugs to see if they were closed.. when i tried to take the out they were tight as can be.. like some one torque that **** down ( dont know how that happened).. i manage to get 3 plugs out but the last one snapped on me.. and yes i happen to use a cheap extension from autozone.. i didnt have my craftsmen with me at the time.. im stuck dont know what to do..
