Tom, I worked in an auto shop for a few years and I learned a lot from my boss. Her goes..take a brazing tip on your torch and heat whats left of the plug red hot, it will take some time, then douse it with cold water and make sure you have really cooled it down, don't worry about water in the cylinder. The plug will now turn out with needle nose, vise grip or whatever you can get a hold of it with . Once the plug remenants are out blow the cylinder out with your air hose, getting any water and pieces of porcylin out at the same time. Use an anti sieze on the new plug. I have also had good luck with easy outs on broken plugs, tap a large easy out into the wall of the plug and they usually come out( I am talking about the square style easy outs)I took 6 of 8 plugs out of a kid's car like that, all 6 broke, twisted off. Plugs should never be installed in a warm engine, this is likely why they won't come out. The warm engine is expanded and when you tighten a plug into it when the engine cools down that plug is just about welded in place, will take incredible torque to remove it. As well plugs should come out easier if the engine is warm, less likely to twist off. Anyway, I have always managed to get them out, some folks don't have any use for easy outs but the square shanked ones work well on plugs and lots of other applications...good luck with the plug...Mike in Exeter Ontario
