Default need some help in drilling block (broke a sender unit in side...)

Ok, I was trying to install an auto meter water temp guage inside my block today, and I guess I was stronger than I thought, and it broke off, leaving part inside the block. however it is not leaking. So i am faced with 2 solutions. 1.) drill current piece out and install a new one, or 2.) install a new one somewhere else, (some ppl say to install near thermostat, but i have no clue where that is....) can someone please help? I would prefer to take a drill to the old one, and drill it out any help is appreciated


Thanks,

Evan Richardson

just get some needle nose pliers or a pick
or vice grips and see if you can back it out

please go to your hardware store and get a reverse thread bolt remover.
You drill a small pilot hole in the object that is stuck then screw this thing with reverse threads into it and it tightens down and allows you to unscrew the item you got jammed in there. Usually works well.
