What’s still stuck to the engine? Getting a glow plug from a diesel engine is not trivial (not that removing a spark plug is…) but glow plugs are smaller and you’ll either have to break down the engine and have the head sent out for a shop to remove that clump of metal from it or you’ll have to have a very steady hand to drill threads into the inside in order to create a base to secure a bolt head to unscrew the hole thing out. It is _not_ a simple task.

@qyron This model did not come with a diesel engine
I misread your post.
You can remove the spark plug from the block using a special tool that is used to bite into the inside of the nut and pull it out. Just seach Amazon or Ebay for for it: it resembles a square file, with grooves cut into it.
The tool is literally hammered in to lock it in place and then it can be attached to a ratchet and used to unscrew the spark plug nut off. It's not a difficult operation but it will required a steady and a some nerves.
I wish you luck and a good work.

The metal nut should still be intact. Just use a spark plug socket to unscrew it
Any auto store should have the tool or a spark plug socket

Thanks for the help Meyer but I don’t think this will work. That fukn thing is stuck in there and I’m afraid I’m going to break it in pieces if I force it.
Is there like a special tool to remove it?

Qyron, diesel engines do not use spark plugs.

I'm not in the US so I risked you'd have a gasoline engine.
