What do I do???

[sbh126]

I was changing my oil pressure sensor today and just when i was finishing up I snapped the threads off of the brass adapter for my oil pressure gauge. What would be the best means of getting them out? It snapped clean off so there's no edge to grab with plyers and I cant exactly drill it out without all the chips getting into my oilling system. What are some other options?

Brass is very soft, you might be able to tap an easy out into it and back it out with a wrench. Use the largest easy out you can fit into it. You didn't say if the engine was in or out of the car. If it is out I would try the easy out first, if that didn't work I would use a reverse drill bit, any fillings would be coming out, not going in with a reverse drill bit.
