Water pump bypass hose fitting (plastic) broke off at the threads. I cant get the threads out to replace the part.
The bypass fitting located under the alternator broke pff at the threads. It is plastic. I have tried an easy out to get the broken piece out. It will not come out. Is there another way i can get it out without taking the head off????

Melt it with a hot air gun then crush it and pull it out.
