Go to advanced auto and buy their tool for about $100 it doesn't involve gluing a piece to get the rest of the spark plug out. It pushes the ceramic forward some so you can use the other piece in the tool set to screw into the metal piece surrounding the ceramic and back it out no problem. The one I broke today came out within 10mins of being broke. And that was just using the tools in the kit no hang ups.
