Default Broken spark plug

I bought an old VW Bug to turn into a dune buggy and was changing the plugs and wires when on the last plug I broke it in half. It is broken where the proclein (sp) ends. Does anyone know if there is a tool or any good way to get this thing out? Thanks for any help.

if just the "proclein (sp)" part broke off and not the whole nut, it should still unscrew normally. if not you can probably get some drill bits and an ease-out and take it out.








and this whole thread is w/out pics

For reference... porcelain.

Max, did the plug snap just above the threads?
