NEED HELP ASAP!!! snapped oil pressure sending unit! ok, so i was swapping out my stock intake manifoldfor an ls6 and i wound up snapping my oil pressure sending unit. 
1/2 of the plastic is still in the block or whatever that is that it goes into in the engine. just wondering if anyone else had f*cked up like this too, and how to get that **** outta there, does it just pop out? screw out? any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

haha broke it on my LT1 when doing a header swap. I started freaking out cuz I didnt know what it was at first, not that big of a deal, should come right out and like they said part is about 30 bux or so from the dealer.
