Have a 97 Ford powerstroke with broken Glow pug tip. Anyone have a Trick to easily remove it without Pulling the Head? Thanks

I read somewhere if you get the piston to T.D.C, you can try to get it with a shop vac. Sounds like a long shot to me but, I guess worth a try.

if the tips are steel you could fish them out with a magnetic pick-up tool.
