DAMMIT! So how does one extract a broken off radiator screw socket?

I posted the parts list, ordered from Summit.. full parts list not required, but it makes draining annually a breeze...
OH, and I got 1 for each car... so really not an extra!

Well. the internal threads are stripped. I'm thinking of heating up the thread area on the screw socket and jamming it in the hole.
What do you guys think?
Shouldn't the hot plastic bond to the end tank plastic and seal up?
Eventually I'm getting one of Chris White's rads anyway, so it doesn't matter if it ends up in there permanently.

I just did the search... it was the 4th or 5th one down... parts list is further down on page one of this thread, with a link to Jegs (Sorry, I realize I said summit, but it was Jegs, I buy quite a bit from both Jegs and Summit... ) Summit CAN get these parts, but Jegs stocks them!

Honestly, and based on my years of engineering training at the only university in Florida, the radiator comes out quite easily. I would just take it out and fix "the situation" on a bench and reinstall.

lol. Good thing you got your's when you did. The new gov wants to do away with such frivolities!
Seriously, thanks for the idea. I combined it with another and it came out great!
The solution is still a new rad, which is coming, but I made a good temp fix.
