Just as the title says. I found myself removing and reinstalling 3 others over the summer issue free and this one snapped on my $500 G5200.
It looks to be made of aluminum so drilling out what is left and then re tapping the hole seems like the cleanest way. I am waiting on the part to come in so I can get the thread pitch for a tap and also the correct diameter drill bit. It won't be pretty so I am planning on using some teflon paste so seal things up.
My advice to anyone else who runs into one of these that doesn't flow; try drilling or picking out the crud first. A cap to keep mowing debris out of the opening may help too.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
