Question Another brittle plastic thread

Does anybody have in ingenious method of retrieving the lower half of a broken PCV grommet, this thing was so shot it broke, and the lower half of the grommet dropped into the intake. I got out about 1/3 of the ring, it was so brittle it wouldn't come out without breaking. Now I'm left with 2/3 of the ring now out of sight, somewhere in there. Thanks for any help.
