I have a 1995 Honda Civic and one of the spark plugs broke when I was changing it. The thread of the plug is still in the cyclinder head. How do I get it out?

easy out might work- but they expand the busted piece...50/50 on that
if it's too tight for easy-out tool- pull head- throw it away, and put a fresh head on it. do labor yourself.
prices for head labor range from mexican mech.$300 to white guy mech. $750! plus cost of gasket set. better off buying a whole new motor- more bang for the buck at least.

They make easy outs for this purpose at your local auto parts store ......use easy out to remove the rest of the plug and it comes with a new tap you can rethread plug hole and clean ..good as new ..
