B7500. Removed the sensor and it came out nicely without the sensor end. It is still in the block. Ideas on how to remove it. Someone suggested I use Quick Steel Expoxy on a screw, then insert it. Then screw it out after it sets? Ideas please.
Coolant Temperature Sensor broken in the block

It's probably brass. Use a center punch, then drill it our with a left had drill bit. It's probably come right out. If not a good square easy out.
I have had success using a very large flat bladed screw driver when I did not have the right easy out.
Gently tap the driver into the broken sensor body and use a wrench or vice grips on the screw driver shaft to see if it will back out.
It is important that the driver has a tapered tip. As you tap it into the broken sensor it will wedge against the sides of the inside of the sensor. Gentle!!

sanity check - when the sensor is removed there should be antifreeze coming out of the opening. Right?
