If it hasn't fallen in, put a towel over it and crank the engine.

You can try to vacuum it out of the injector hole, but it will be tricky. I dont remember the diameter of a glowplug tip, but perhaps you can buy a bore scope to help out (the smaller they are the more costly it seems, you can find them on ebay).

Good luck with whichever way you decide.

This method works well! Pull the injector, put that cylinder to top dead center and blow it out through the injector hole with compressed air.
