Removing Broken Pipe

all depends what you have handy, how strong the metal is, and how tight it is in there
if you cannot put something in there to get good enough grip to unscrew
just get some thin pliers and slowly just bend the metal inwards if it is thin enough
have you first tried seeing if you can remove any of that PTFE tape?
if you have a dremmel or something similar you could carefully cut it out

Ordered one yesterday and chastised the Mrs for her strong cleaning ethics (no, that would have backfired). 🙂

 

I'm sure the fittings here (even "premium" brands) are made of some sort of water-soluble metal.

 

The ruddy things seem to just dissolve from the inside leaving a paper-thin structure that crinkles up like aluminium foil at the slightest stress.
