Hi all,

I recently picked up a 3-body secondary regulator on eBay that unfortunately arrived with one of the gas out valves snapped halfway off (appears to have happened during shipping, despite great packaging).

I've already initiated a return, but it struck me that I might be able to remove the snapped off bit of pipe and replace it, which would be great since I got a great deal on this regulator ($40) that I wouldn't be able to replicate right now.

Does anyone have experience removing a snapped off MFL threaded pipe? Is it possible? Do I need a special tool?

I don't know what material those regulator bodies are made from, and can withstand the torgue when you put an extractor inside. Chances are it may never seal there anymore. Then what?
