Hmmm, what if you get a dry/wet vac, get an attachment that will go over the hole, then try to suck the damn thing out? Just make sure you clean out the vac's tub before you do this, so you can find the thing again.
Not sure if it'll work, but hey, you've tried everything else, so what the hell!

I was actually thinking about that idea too. But I figured, if he already tried pulling it out with pliers and it didn't move, then a vacuum cleaner won't be able to help either.

You may want to try locking forceps (kelly clamp). It's long and thin enough to reach in there to get it, and the locking mechanism makes it easier to get a good grip.

Sure. I was just throwing out an idea. So, is this the rubber that's usually on the inside of the spark plug socket that's stuck in there?

Bummer. Does the socket have a warranty. You could have them recoup the expenses to have a mechanic get it out.

I would be slightly afraid that it might melt during an extended trip... Just a thought that was in my head and I figured I would share.
