did you ever get the socket out of the spark plug hole ?
.... you may have to rig up a large screw or bolt to go into the square socket hole and grab onto the sides of the socket's 3/8" hole and use a slide hammer or just pull on the bolt....
.....
I've had trouble getting a socket out of holes like that before and it's usually because the extension ball is sticky from years of use and slides in and out of the socket too easily.... if nothing else you can try some tape over the end of the socket's extension and jam it in the socket itself ...that will usually get it out of there.... or a small wire in the socket and jam the extension into the socket real good....
....
I have a special extension that's new and locks on real good to the socket when I do sparkplugs on the Ninja.
