Default knock sensor replacement

Trying to replace my knock sensors and the rear one is being a bitch to say the least, first the inside was spinning in the shell and we manged to use a punch and get the shell to bite the inner ring and then got on it with a ratchet and the threads broke out from the center of the KS. So no I have the vally cover off and trying to get the threads out of the block. I've tried hitting it at an angle with a center punch and it doesn't do anything. Need some idea's here guys, just built this engine and gonna be really pissed if the blocks fucked cause of this one little thing.

Sounds like you're gonna have to drill the threaded piece and use an eazy-out extractor to remove it.
