Default Urgent - spark plug nut broke off!!!

Well I guess that was my misfire... went to take it out and the outer nut for the plug came out, and plug is still in head. Please someone tell me of an easy way to pull it out... can't even get a pair of pliers down in there... all I see is round body...

1998 Honda civic...

Get ready to pull your head to get the spark plug out.

You use dielectric grease on a spark plug?


I use anti-seize and believe it works way better.
