You stick it in the hole and it grabs the inner wall of the busted piece and turns it out. Once you get the busted piece out you can get a replacement part and install it.

Personally, I would look for the square style... but the spiral fluted ones should work also.
It appears the busted fitting is brass, so it should be fairly easy to manipulate. Just please be very careful to not let any metal shavings or junk fall back into the hole. It's just not a good thing.
Moving forward you will need a new elbow fitting. I looked around and am having a hard time finding one. Anybody here got the proper nomenclature and possibly a part number for that brass elbow?
I would heat the crap out of that before using the EZ out. You basically have 1 shot for removal, otherwise you are going to need to drill + tap which is going to send shrapnel into the oil passage and is no bueno.
Maybe a few cycles of heating and applying penetrating oil, then letting it cool. You want to heat the outside of the threads so it expands and you can back the inside piece out

Good morning to everyone! well im still working on that without success, i already used the EZ out but its very stuck, another difficult part is that i dont have enough space to work, i used penetrating oil but theres no progress.
This is how it looks
I see that the fitting is split. Is there any way to use a small chisel or something to hit in on both sides of the split to get the fitting out of the threads. If not you may have to remove the adapter.
Clean the hole on the broken part with alcohol and a Qtip. Let it dry.
get a bolt that barely fits in the hole.
clean that with alcohol and let it dry.
Put JB weld on the bolt and stick it in so it can weld to the inside of the broken piece.
wait a LONG time so it can set up and harden all the way.
take out bolt with a wrench.
just thinking redneck style... possibly would work.
anyone else think so, or no?
That appears to have a foreign substance on it. Probably thread sealant. Heat should be applied prior to removal. It will help to soften up that material and give the EZ-out a better chance (thread sealant can also keep penetrating oil from getting in where it needs to be).
