I was changing the sender at the block and I managed to broke it off, what are my options here feel free to give any advice I will deal with in the morning when there will be more light to work on. Thanks

Note from DJ
I would look for the square type easy out as pictured, the spiral type have a greater potential of swilling it out tighter.

Thanks DJ, I successfully removed the remaining of the sender. I just used a awl or a pick and a flat head screw driver and then a needle nose plier. It was a good thing to back away and deal with that kind of problem when everything cooled off. I also replaced the oil sender because im doing a cluster swab. I have to moved the thing a little bit because the new one is a little bit longer.
The remaining
All good no leaks!

Note from DJ
I admire someone that has the ability to make do with what they have to work with.

Caution when changing the Oil Filter; the oil pressure sensor is easily bumped and broken.
