Anybody ever extract a broken temperature sending unit from the head of a 258 without tearing the head off? Want to do everything possible to not have to tear the head down, but this is a tough one. Went to unscrew the sensor and lower unthreaded part decided to stay in the head. Thread extractor not working so far. Guess I can drill through it and rig up some kind of sheet metal screw on a handle and try pulling it up, but think it's locked too tight. Could also try to knock the remaining part in with a punch and flush the system but don't know how sucessful that would be. Anybody been down this road? Don't have the time or desire right now to tear the top end down.
