Broken fuel inlet..?

I was trying to swap the stock fuel line between the throttle bodies on my CFI T/A and overtightened the fuel line adapter (not sure what its proper name is)
Now the the male threaded part is in the Throttle body.

So I guess in total I have 2 problems now..

1. Get the broken piece out of throttle body
2. Find a new fuel adapter

Any help is appreciated

I guess problem solved. I got the threaded part out, and now I guess I will start the hunt for a new part.
