If a wire or plug is broken it needs to be replaced. You should use the right size plug socket with a rubber insert to get the plugs in. The longer socket makes it easier to reach in and screw them in. Always start them by hand so you can feel it go into the threads properly before you tighten it.

That is a nifty spark plug socket. Exactly what is needed for the #1 plug.
