Broke off brass nipple going to intake manifold

[trbo4]

I was removing a leaking vacumm hose from the FPR to the intake manifold and the brass nipple snapped in half. Anybody have a idea on how to get it out?

You'll probably have to remove the plenum, to drift out the stub of brass nipple, and press a new one in.

Don't be tempted to drill it out in situ, engines don't like metal filings.

Good luck.

there is a repair post on AW, someone did the same thing.

they ended up making an identical looking nipple with some tubing and a swage tool.

a bolt extractor should be able to remove the part that is still in there. if i were you, do all work with the manifold OFF the car.
