broke a fitting

[Murphy]

ok so i have a EGT hole in the 4th runner. I tried to put the starter in and the fitting sat too low so i tried to tighten them
i have 2 fittings, one reducer and one to hold the probe in. i was tightening the probe fitting and the reducer snapped. the 'head' came off and the part inside of the manifold is still there. the car is all together except for stuff that needs to go back there like the starter adn coolant line. what would be the easiest way to get this thing out, plug it, whatever. ijust want to plug it right now so i cna get the starter in and drive this car.

If it makes you feel any better, I drilled my hole a little high and had to grind inside for the probe to slide in easy. I feel for you. One little mistake and ten problems.

i managed to tap it and cleaned out the fillings with a hard drive magnet on a small screwdriver...i installed the second fitting again, but it was still too close to the starter to install the probe
