Drill it enough for an easy out. Only option left, aside from removing the head.

Default broken glow plug

thanks for the reply. Will the center of the glow plug pull out clear of its housing to allow me to drill or use an extractor?

If any one can answer this I would like to know too. Mine has a broken plug from one of the previous owners.

Well you didn't say if head nut just broke off or if the tip broke off in the head

If it the tip broke off in the head pull the injector out lot time you can pull it out with magnet

If the nut broken off try welding nut to it or get left hand drill bit and if you go with drilling still need to pull the injector out and take magnet to pick up any chips that made have fall inside per-cup
