Or you can also use a pipe tool that when you turn it counterclockwise,
will grab the inside of whatever is left in there and will come out. I had
a similar problem with my lawn tractor.... the drain pipe for the oil was
way too short and wanted to lenghten it. Well somehow, it broke off right at
the edge of the engine block and I used one of those pipe tools that goes
inside. I got it at home repo (depot) for not too much.

Good Luck,
