>>>You can use a coat hanger wire or other >>>screwdriver or whatever to put into the #1 spark plug hole and rock the >>>vehicle until it tightens up on the coat hanger wire / screwdriver etc. Use extreme caution turning over your motor with hard objects stuck in the plug hole! Many years ago (25+!?!?!) I broke off the tip of a hardened precision screw driver in a cylinder this way. Damned if I can remember what vehicle it was (fog of time/age). I was able to fish it out with a small magnet and some tape, etc. No harm done, but I am quite sure my heart stopped and I began to sweat profusely when I realized what had happened!
