Broken spark plug wire, it's stuck!!!! Options

[John93GT]

So I was doing a tune up on my 94 GT, and as I was changing out the wires on cylinder 2 the wire fell apart. The little rubber boot thing is still down the well around the spark plug. What is the best way to get it out? I don't have any needle-nose plyers that can reach, nor does Lowes or HD have any. I also tried to use a wire hanger to jimmy it out, but nothing. I am out of ideas.

Also, any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening again?


Thanks

Ghetto style: you can try with a fish hook and a line. But the force to pull it out may snap the rubber.

or you can try making the wire hanger a sharp point, but you may scratch the inside.

if you can use nylon, maybe you can use some kind of knot that the more you pull the more tight it gets. Kind of the boy scouts.

Thats what i would try.

or Just go to an auto store or sears. To prevent it, just buy new cables. I guess.
