I was able to save the day on this broken spark plug.

My neighbor was doing a spark plug change on his wife's car, which I believe is a Hyundai. The threads actually broke off of the spark plug. We talked about it for a little bit and I ended up getting a large easy out and we were able to twist the threads out. I was wondering is there a better way to do this or was this the right way to go? Also, it was weird trying to adapt the square 3/4 end of the easy out to a socket wrench. Is there a female to female three-quarters adapter out there?

Here's a picture of the threads of from the spark plug stuck in the hole

And this is what the broken spark plug look like after he took it out

Here's the contraption we built to get a left hand thread easy out down the spark plug hole

Overall, I'm pretty happy I was able to help. Things worked out pretty good.
