Small dab of glue ( or would that glue it all in ?)
Remove the plate ( pulls out) and access jack from back
I'm dead certain theres a post on this where exactly the same happened , think it's in one of the auxiliary connection threads.

I used a very small amount of Araldite on the end of a cocktail stick (cut it in half and use the flat not pointy bit). Put the cocktail stick in carefully so you dont get glue on the sides and leave it to dry on the broken jack then when dry pull the broken jack out.
I tried super glue first but it wouldn't stick to the jack.Global Warming.... I'm luvvin it

The little plate that holds the 12v aux socket and headphone jack just pulls out .Disconnect the 2 plugs and then undo a couple of screws .You will then end up with this

You will proberly still need the cocktail stick as the socket is soldered to the board.
I have previously drilled a small hole in the side of one of those sockets and used a very fine screwdriver to "flip " the end of the jack upwards and out .G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
