[DeTomaso] ZF Vent Tube

[Garth Rodericks]

I would think an "Easy Out" would remove the broken tube from your ZF fitting with no trouble. No need to drill, just start twisting it in. The reverse rotation as you thread it into the tube should unscrew it. Just a thought.

I have a stainless steel vent tube on my ZF.  It's fine.  The problem is the small fitting that attaches it to the top of the ZF.  It as sheared off.  As a result, I have the hollow threaded end still in the ZF with no obvious (to me anyway) method of how to get it out.

I think it's aluminum, the fitting is very light.

Any thoughts on how to get the threaded bit out of the ZF without letting it fall in would be greatly appreciated.
