I was trying to replace the spark plug and coil pack. I dropped something inside the cylinder that the spark plug is located in. Now I cannot get a spark plug socket in there to take out the spark plug. How can I get the debris out without pulling the heads?

What exactly fell into the spark plug hole? anything metal try a magnet with a small tip on it or sometimes while the plug is still in there, sometimes blowing compressed air in there can get debris to fly out, another other way is to put a little grease on something and get the piece of whatever and get the debris to stick to it and pull it out slowly.
I am assuming you only dropped something into the boot area for the coil and not actually down into the cylinder on top of the piston.

Either use a blow gun and blow it out or maybe a shop vac will help
