Broken thread on temperature sensor :( Hey guys, I have a big problem. I just put new headers on and during the installation the engine temperature sensor broke. I unscrewed it and put in a new one that was from autozone, however after i put in the sensor the part the sensor broke off. Now the thread is all the way in there and I have no idea what to do. Please help.

I have some pictures too. Hopefully these come out.

I had that happen before. I took a phillips head that barely fit in there. Then I tapped it in with a small hammer so it drove into the brass. Then I screwed it out.
Hope you didn't put it in too tight.......if you did you might have to remove the head to get it out.

Thanks man, I got it out! Just now I have to wait to do it all over again because nobody had the part in stock. It was a bitch. Then I had to replace engine coolant that leaked out but I'm just glad I didn't have to get the head off!
