I was just replacing my spark plugs on my car and everything was going fine until I got to the last plug. The spark plug connector sealing lip has broken off the end of the rest of the connector and is stuck inside the spark plug hole. I cannot find a way of getting that out and I can't replace the spark plug until I can get that out.
Any ideas?

I assume you mean this part of the spark plug wires, I think if you take the rod and you push it back down in the hole you might be able to press the plastic sheath back into the rubber "sealing lip" If that doesn't work, you can try using some superglue, or a gentle adhesive on the tip of the plastic sheath and have it stick to the rubber seal, once its out you should be able to pop it back on.

I am no expert here, just saw your post and thought I would chime in. I have a 1997 probe gt.
