Help with a tune up

Got a question. Doing a tune up on my moms 94 celica an didn't even get as far as taking off the plug wires, and the plug wire in the number 3 and number 4 cylinder, broke off right above where it connects to the spark plug. Now don't get me wrong I am not your average dumbass, I do maintenence on my truck all the time this car is just cursed. So my question is is there any trick to getting to them? Or do I have to rip the top of the fu#c%$g engine apart? Any help would be appericiated. I am already pissed please give me some good news.

Not looking for a smart ass remark but ok. I was wondering if there were any tricks, so I didn't have to do more than was needed.

The plug wires are attached to 6 inch long peices of plastic which is followed by a rubber boot. There are in the engine like 6 inches down. I finally got the plastic part off but the rbber boot is stuck onto the top of the spark plug, so I can't get a socket on the plug, I can;t reachit with an exacto knife to cut the boot or anything

long handle screwdriver big enough to break the creamic part of plug off remove boot and use socket a magnet to retrieve metal part of plug. I am a Smart ARSE for coming up with such a brillant idea
