if you tap the easy out in the oppisite direction that you tried to put it in then it may come out. then get the broken piece out.
you don't need aheli coil because it's a bras plug not steel after you get eh easy out out, then try the small chisel. if you can't get it out have apro do it instead of screwing around andcausing more damage than what there already is.

there should be a plug just above the oil filteron the side of the block. remove that an d then you will need an adapter to downsize so the pressure gauge will fit. of course you will have to lengthen the wires to the pressure gauge so everything will work right. if you don't your fuelpump won't work.i can't find apic to show you right now.
