Thread: Broken Oil Pressure Fitting!

Tweet

You can use what is called a "pipe extractor" which is an
EZOut type tool that is specifically made to remove broken
nipples.

Here is a picture of one that is the wrong size for your application:

They are usually available at a "real" plumbing store. I have never seen them at a Depot

If your worried about shaving getting into the engine put some grease or vasoline in the hole first. Then after you get out the part just bump the engine the shavings and grease will come out.

Yeah there wont be anything but stuff coming out I left this piece off when I primed my engine the first time and let me tell ya ,its like striking oil ,in about 1 second I was covered,they wall was covered and the roof was covered some thing about a big passage neckin down to a small one creates alot of pressure and a mess

Well my dad dug up a quality set of ez outs that he never used before, till now. Turned out pretty easy, couple light taps and it went right in, then it unscrewed, didnt look like any chips went in, seemed to all stay in the nipple, guess because it was brand new and not made in china lol. I would have done the vaseline thing to help, but I alreay had it out by the time I read that lol, didnt think id have responses this quick, thanks for the help guys, I crapped myself and almsot had a heart attack, at least its not just me this happens to lol. Lets see what goes wrong next.
