    (Snapped water pipe) How do I get this out?

    Snapped this water line changing out my oil filter housing and got coolant everywhere. Got the new line from FCP but I can't get the damn thing out. Help please.

    Nevermind, got a flat head and brute forced it out. Think I'll leave this up for anyone who breaks their water pipe in the future

      Tell us how you use the flat screwdriver to pull this broken port out as the flat head has no hook or barb. I don't think you can rotate the broken piece to loosen it as it is keyed.

      I would use a small wire cutter and nip small piece off until I can fold it inward and pull out.

        I remember using a 90 degree plier.

          Pushed a flat head down until the bottom portion snapped off. Pushed an angle pick (the small tiny ones) on the top half until it came down enough to pull with needle nose pliers.
