any ideas?

while changing my plugs for the first time i (ya you guessed it!),i broke the tip of the sparkplug wire holder thingy off.any ideas on how to glue/attach the top back on and then be able to pull the wire off the plug?is it possible to get just one holder and rewire it to the ignition wires?

I'd suggest replacing the ignition wire set.

Or obtain one from a similar model in the boneyards...

...and get yourself a spark plug holder puller tool...saves on breaking them, (which most will without proper de-installation)...and an ignition wire set isn't cheap!
