The other day i was going to change my spark plugs, so then i checked the plugs to make sure i needed to change them. i took them out successfully and checked all 4 and they are soon to be needed to be replaced. as im installing the first plug, the socket comes off the extension as i pull it out and i then go back and fight for 30minutes to retrieve it successfully. but then the rubber that is supposed to be inside the socket is stuck inside the well/tube around the spark plug, which left me to just drop the rest of the other 3 and tighten them back down without the rubber. the rubber is keeping me from getting the plug back out because its blocking my way of seizing the plug. i tried everything, wired hangars, picks and hooks to get it out.. knowing that i have work in the next hour i put everything back together and started the car. and it ran fine. no check engine light, nothing. I am a complete idiot for having this happen  Cry . any suggestions or what not will be very helpful.

do you think i should spray wd40/motor oil in it to loosen it? im looking through other forums and they all say to do that. or maybe get a long enough needle nose to grip the spark plug and loosen it that way since im getting new ones anyways?

You have absolutely no way of sliding the socket around the rubber boot? If the rubber boot is still around the plug as its designed to be, you should be able to put the socket on over it and remove the whole thing.

The more is tried to the more it got deeper. Remember, i had to reassemble everything to get to work. And ill try again to get the socket around the rubber. And get a picture right after i get out of class.

That's a tough one.  I would say, use an x-acto blade to slice away some of the rubber, in vertical section.  Then when you have a segment off, use the pliers to pull the rest out.

One of these.

It's just an idea though.  Since it's coming from me, I would take it with a grain of salt.
