Extractors

I need a little help from the members, more mechanically inclined the better, but all suggestions will help.

1998 K1500 pickup with 5.7

Heater hose, flowing from engine to heater core was slightly leaking at the fitting on the intake. I go buy new part, put socket on old part, turn about 1/20 of rotation and the fitting snaps off. Metal was corroded and soft. Threads are still in intake and about 1/4 to 3/8" is outside/still visible, can grab. I tried slowly tapping with hammer/flat head screwdriver but metal was soft and bending. Soaked with liquid wrench and came to work in another vehicle. don't have a picture handy but it is approximately 3/4 - 1" wide. I started looking up extractors on the web but was wondering if anybody had a special trick or piece I should try.

Thanks in advance,

I had the same problem and used the same hacksaw trick. It worked great, but take your time. One additional note - after making the cuts and before starting with the chisel, push a small rag into the broken off fitting, leaving some out so you can pull it out. This will prevent any small pieces from droping into the intake.

Soulscream, I'll probably have to go that route.

boat dr, I tried your method (sounded good) until the metal just crumbled, no me gusta. Thanks for the tip though, I am sure it will be useful someday.
