Default broken water temp sensor

i swapped my idiot light cluster out a couple months ago. switched the oil pres sensor. but in the middle of doing my temp sensor the top part of the sensor snapped off. its flush at the head now with no way to grab it.

any suggestions beyond and aftermarket? maybe another place to hook the info wire into or the sensor?

Drill and extractor (EZ Out), left hand drill bit. Be sure to use center punch as close to the center as possible, unless its already hollow, then use an Ez out. If its brass then it may be more of a challenge.

you can try taking a flat head and tapping it till it comes out, but the ez out is probably your best bet.
