socket stuck help
Hi! Don't know how it happened but changing the plugs on my 99 exp. I got the spark plug socket stuck in the chamber. Of course it drops in and it's one of the back ones and I have tried everything I can think of it is in there. Anybody have any ideas on how to get it back out. Thanks

I had the same thing happen once. Here's what I tried:
1) Used a pick up tool. Socket kept slipping
2) Used a 4" locking extension and messed around until it finally contacted the socket. Got the socket out and swore I'd never do the plugs without using a locking extension again.
I didn't have a magnet at the time but that might have worked.
