Default Mini me oil jet issue...

Well last night I was taking the oil jet out of my a6 block and tugged and tugged and my screw snapped off inside the block. Poop! Does anyone have any ideas on getting that thing out? I'll post pics in a few hours.

Yeah get an extractor tool, use the appropriate size bit, drill a hole, then put the extractor in, pull it out. It is extremely simple...
