Hey Terry, Phil is right. Put some grease in the hole to catch any filings/shavings that get in there. If it's a pressure passage then it will self flush, if not then a vacuum should work great for removing the mess. I just experienced the same problem a couple weeks ago with a 4-71 Detroit. The best way I've found to remove any kind of broke fitting, if an easy out doesn't work first, is to take a small hacksaw blade and saw through it in at least two places 180 degrees apart to relieve the tension on it. There are some really small fine toothed blades out there, and they work best on smaller fitings, but if you don't have one like that you can always grind the back off a regular blade to thin it down enough to fit, just don't the blade too hot while your doing it. After you get it cut take a small cape chisel, or whatever you have that will work, and tap on it in the out direction. Most of the time it will come right out when you do that. If not then saw two more 180 apart on the opposite sides from the first two cuts, making four pieces. Do the same thing again with the chisel. If it still doesn't move, then get on the outer lip, where it broke, with the chisel and tap it toward the middle and collapse the 4 pieces toward the middle. I have never had one fail to come out if I had to take it this far. Good luck. Wayne
