Ok everyone, in a post a few days ago I was looking for help with a leak on my oil pressure sending unit extension rod. Given the steps I had all ready taken, most people thought the extension was probably cracked.
Here is the thread:

Anyway... being pretty slick (so I thought, now I know I was being pretty stupid), I just replaced the extension with a 4 inch threaded brass rod. Being much smarter than I am, you probably all ready see where this is going. Given brass is a pretty weak metal (ahhh, why didn't I think of that before?), I snapped that puppy off while screwed into my block!
So how do I get the broken part of the brass rod out and not screw up the block (the rod broke off flush with the block)?
Just shoot me now... the best damn top down weather since last spring and my car is up on blocks!
