Broken Ball joint, threads still in other part

I have a problem that I was wondering if anyone could help me out with.

I have a B4 and the "C" shaped piece (#9565 that attaches to the chassis and the rear shock tower mounts too.

I snapped a ball end and the there is some threaded part still in the hole.

What do people do to remove it? Cant get a dremel in there to vut a grove in it to use screwdriver on it.

Thanks

I think you are right, I looked at finally and it is NOT worth it. Carbon was to soft and pulled it out as well as breaking the threaded ball end.

Buy a new one. Part #9564(plastic) or #9565(carbon). Then purchase Robinson titanium ball ends. #2016
