    oil pressure brass thing

     



    i dont know the actual name of the part. but i was trying to break the oil pressure sensor loose on my 4.3 and it broke the copper piece flush with the intake manifold.
    i really dont have much time to fix this so has this happened to anyone or have any ideas on how to fix this?

    is it a reducer for an NPT threaded sensor, or is it actually part of the sensor.... if its just a reducer, then just thread in a new sensor and leave it how it is for now.... if its the base of the sensor, then one trick might be to try and cut a slot in it with a small chisel, and then use a screwdriver to remove it....

    Twist it out with an E-Z-Out, available at any auto parts store or hardware.
