Temperature sensor Perkins

[aidank]

The water gauge in our mf 168 not working this I got a new sensor. Its a capillary type sensor rather than electric.

Unscrewed the nut where it goes into the engine no issues.

However once unscrewed, the end of the sensor has broken off the original capillary tube.

The broken bit is well and truly stuck in the block.

Any ideas how to get the broken bit out, picture 2.

My big 90 degrees pliers can grip it but won't turn or pull out

Fuel tank overhead so cant go drilling
