Broken Glow Plug, Help

When I was removing the glow plugs on the drivers side of my 97 F250, the plug at the rear of the engine broke. The exterior shaft broke off and now the plug rod is stuck in place. I have tried numerous things to pull it out with no luck. Any ideas?

unfortunately you will have to pull the head and tap it from the back, I did have luck 1 time using vise grips and a slide hammer attached to it but only once.

soak it with some PB, liquid wrech, break free ect. over night then put some towels over the plug and crank the engine...hopfully it will shoot out. stuff some rags on the head so it cant fall into the motor
