BAD IGNITION COILS, NOW STUCK COIL TIPS?

I have happened to inherit the infamous P1320 code. Bought ignition coils from Amazon.com seller autopartspro. These were not the right coils apparently. Now, in an attempt to take the coils out and return them, sparkplug tubes#3 & 5's coil tips came off and remained stuck in the tube. Apparently, my lack of due diligence has caused me to miss the reviews that have stated that they had these very same issues.
Has anyone ever experienced such a debacle in the forum? How did you rectify this issue?

hey I'm a newbie and might not know the proper way but had the same problem with one while changing plugs over the weekend. Can't quite remember if I just pulled it out with needle nose pliers or might have used a mini "L" shaped pry bar under the lip to pop it. Whichever way it wasn't a big problem

Thanks for the reply

I looked at that possibility. It appears that I cannot find a needle nose that could go into the tube and reach. Thanks again and I will be taking a couple of trips to the "depot" or lowes.
