I REALLY NEED HELP.. I broke my sensor
I really did something very stupid today. I was changing the coolant temperature sensor on my 90 GXE. Took the old one off, and as I was tightening the newer one, I kept on going like an idiot, and then pop!!! It broke. So now the half that threads is inside the metal part(where the two radiator hoses meet), and the switch is in my hand. WHAT DO I DO??????? ANybody Please!!!!!
The part that is inside is hollow. The hole is less than 1/4 inch in diameter. Will I be able to get like a hex key or something in there. I tried a hex key, but it slips. My 1/4 ratchet is too big.
