Spark plug problem

Now that I followed everyones' unaminous opinions, I turned back the champion plugs for NGK copper plug, I have this dilemma.

On the last spark plug, in the rear, in the middle, (oh you guys know that one), the coil came out but not a piece of rubber that is still in the chamber.

Uh huh, that is preventing me from taking the plug out.

How can I get that rubber piece around the top of plug?

Hmmm.

Get some long tweasers or needle noise pliers.

The crazy glue solution, why didn't I think of that. Today I will do that.

I made up a tool from coat hanger wire. I made a small loop at one end with needle nosed pliers. I just inserted the looped end in the rubber piece and was able to lift it out. I now have a tool for next time in case it happens again.
