Default broken spark plug...Help!

One of the spark plugs on my 2001 3.8 v6 broke in half yesterday while I was changing them out. Does anyone know a good shop in the Jacksonville, FL area that can help me w/o breaking the bank. Or does anyone know of any tools that can be purchased to help in such a situation?

Welcome to the site!!!! When you say broke in half,do you mean the top broke off?If so then you can just use the sparkplug socket and remove the bottom half of the plug.

if you can remove it then do but only after you get all the ceramic parts out of the tube other wise you could get some in the chamber which isnt good (Duh) then remove the rest of the spark plug.
