Ok, having some minor issues here...
When I changed my valve cover gasket two weeks ago, I accidently snapped the electrical connector off the temperature sender at the back of the head. It didn't leak, so I drove around for a week not knowing what my engine temp was.
Last weekend I bought a new temperature sending unit. I got a wrench on the old one, and went to loosen it.
It snapped off flush with the head.
Thankfully, it's still not leaking.
Anyone got any clue how to get this bastard out, now? Without removing the head?

The shorty extractor that are already made are hard to use because you need some pressure on them.

Wedge in type

Stubby bolt extractor

Good luck
