The fittings are hollow so an ez out might work.
Real trucks are built, not bought Build thread

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!

I had the same situation a couple weeks ago on mine. Get a good bite with an ez out and it should turn right out.

They also make pipe nipple extractors. should be able to find them at local piping places or tool shop.

I wanted to ask if you were successful in removing your broken fitting, and find out how you did it.

OK update, been busy lately! got the broken fitting out with the easy out no problem. went to oreilys to get a new one and they gave me the wrong fitting for 5 buck, so i just re-threaded the bottom of the broken fitting and put it all back together sunday night, dumped some gas in it and fired right off with 30 lbs at idle and 60 at rev. I think that it is ok. I also put a new coil cap and rotor on it. runs way better! ;D ;D
