Intake Manifold HELP

[454cid]

So the GM Quick Disconnect on the backside broke off in the sucker, I started working on it last night. I got her all out and this morning I cleaned and then started to tap with a chisel and hammer to try and back the thing out. no go.

Any thoughts

There is some sort of extractor specifically for those pieces of garbage that you can rent from the autoparts store, I think. Some people have used a hacksaw blade to cut it too... I guess longitudinally, but just shy of the threads. Thankfully mine didn't break in that manner. The plastic and seal gave up.

Lisle 62200 is the extractor made for the job. My local oreilly's has it in stock but none of the other stores do. If you can't find that, one of these from harbor freight might work, but I've never tried it.

5 piece nipple extractor...... that sounds like it might could be a good time! Probably a lot more fun than an on the fly repair job like this one.
