get a screw out set, one of those reverse drill bit lookin dealys or you could tap the hole for a reverse thread, screw in a reverse bolt and tighten it till the brass peice comes out

Thats what you get for not using a tuner toys block fitting ;) go to a local auto store and buy a easy out set and see if that will work for you.

and now trying to save $24 on a tuner toy fitting ends up costing more in time wasted..........

it is always just easier to buy the stevemode kit to begin with

Guy #1 - Hey, I need some help with this thing I bought.

Guy #2 - Dude, you should have bought this other thing.

If there was a guy #3, I'm sure he'd ask wtf the answer was.

What's the fucken answer again? -guy #3 8)

Re: Broke the brass T in the block and its stuck
 

guy #4: you can get that fitting for $20 shipped at stealth mode performance.

but back to the problem at hand; is the any little bit of brass T left sticking out of the block? you might be able to turn it out using a pair of vice grips. I'd imagine it'd be impossible to fit a by the block to drill that thing out.

you can tap the inside of the brass fitting then put some JB weld on a bolt and screw it in, let it harden and back it out.

Man this place is turning into Honda-Tech where instead of helping the guy out everyone just tells him to buy some expensive parts :-\ HMT is forgetting its ghetto roots...

Re: Broke the brass T in the block and its stuck
 

The thing is you don't want a Tee at all off the block. You want a fitting that goes to a line that goes to a tee on the firewall. McMaster Carr is ur friend. I put all my oil line stuff together for like 50 bucks... sorry stevemode. :P

Re: Broke the brass T in the block and its stuck
 

easy out kit bottom line, possibly try heating the block up too, since the aluminum should expand faster thn the brass.

Re: Broke the brass T in the block and its stuck
 

Listen to this guy he's right. Dont put a T on the block next time. Put a line to connect to the T, and mount the T on the firewall. It's safer that way.

And if you insist on using an NPT fitting hanging on by 2 threads, at least run a 1/8 NPT tap through the hole so you can thread it in all the way.
