Been there- done that!!
1. Bring the piston on the offending cylinder up on it's compression stroke. (valves closed)
2. Take a Dremel tool with a straight metal cutting bit and notch the broken spark plug thread in 2 or 3 places so the threads are just showing. Then take a small sharp chisel and collapse the threads inward so you can grab the remnants and turn them out.
3. Use a blow gun with a 6" or longer pipe on it so you can blow OUTWARD any metal shavings.
4. Buy a spark plug thread tap and clean all of the cylinder spark plug holes. Be sure to remove any old gaskets left behind from someone else and completely scrape any residue off the gasket seat so the spark plug can cool itself properly.
