Default Broken Glow Plug!

Have a 1993 chevy k2500 w/ a 6.2L vin J motor. Was changing the glow plugs and one was fused to the block and snapped off. How do you remove and fix. Need help.

Hopefully, it's one that's easy to get to.

By snapped off, you got it unscrewed and it pulled in half, or you went to unscrew it, and it twisted off?

Two of them snapped off flush with the block with part of the inner stem sticking out.

Since these two are broken on the drivers side, I might as well start preparing myself for the passenger side. At least one of those was replaced last year-leaving me three to get off with difficulty. As for access, Ive taken the fender wells off and removed the tired to make it easier. Still a pain no matter how you slice it.
