I was working on my car to fix my oil leak today, and stupid me I made it worse. I was going to replace the oil pressure sending unit and the tube leading to the block broke off when I tried to remove the pressure sensor. Now there is the rest of the threads left in the block from the origonal pipe. My question is how the hell will I get the thread out of the block so I can replace the whole thing?

Go to sears or something and get the set of "Easy outs" or screw extracters or whatever they call them. Dip it in grease before you attempt to extract to keep metal shavings from going down inside the oil gallery. (remember, these oil galleries have oil already passed through the filter, so any impurities introduced now will probably end up in a bearing! Be careful).
