While I was attempting to change the spark plugs on my 2016 ford explorer Sport, my socket slid into the spark plug tube no problem. When I realized I grabbed the wrong socket it was too late. The socket is locked into the tube. It spins with a ratchet, but no up or down whatsoever. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it. Currently waiting on jb weld to cure on an extension stuck in the socket. I have taken the valve cover off and attempted to pull the tube out but not wanting to break or bend it. What do I do?? I have pictures that would help but cannot post

Did you follow the instructions for photos in the READ THIS FIRST - Forum Guide post located near the top of the main page?
Maybe you can bend a hook into the end of a strip of stiff metal and use that to pull it out.
If you haven't resolved it yer, Scotty says get something to grab the hole at 5:42
