Oops - I broke something!

[Dkofoed]

In my novice attempts at winterizing (for the first time) my 99 Malibu Response Lx, I managed to bust the piece that connects the manifold to a hose (not sure the part name!).  I'm wondering if anyone can suggest what my next course of action might be?  Do I need a new manifold ... ?

First link says "No preview unavailable.  File is in owner's trash."  Second link says "You need access."

Anyway, is it one of these?

No you do not need a new manifold because of that. Fish it out and replace it or get a brass plug at the hardware store.

Nylon Exhaust Fitting

the problem with replacing the nylon exhaust fitting is the lack of clearance to thread it in. You could remove the manifold exhaust elbow and replace that gasket, then you will be compelled to examine and replace the exhaust hoses.   I found a brass plug on the end of each manifold works fine. This did Eli the cross over drain hose.

That's the one, yes.  Is there a proper way to remove the bolt?  I broke it in half trying to loosen it so I'm guessing some sort of thread sealant may have been used.  Not sure how to get the rest out now...

I don't know about proper - but if it were me I would use a hacksaw blade to score it from the inside, stop when you start feeling metal.  Then pound a small screwdriver between the plastic and cast iron and break up the fitting

That’s going to be tough. Some combo of cutting the plastic and picking/knocking out the pieces.  Maybe some heat would help.

Bummer.  And for a $5 part

You can try an extractor first with fingers crossed.  It should (fingers crossed) bite with it being plastic.

Not sure I would try an extractor in a plastic fitting.  Problem is that it'll expand the plastic and you will be fighting against the additional pressure that now exists between the fitting and manifold

Heat is a good idea, might soften it up and make it easier to pry out - you could even just melt it out of there.  Propane torch isn't going to hurt the manifold.

Anyone know where I could find a part that has a 1" thread and 5/8" barb?  Can't seem to find those dimensions anywhere...

The 3/4 NPT thread is roughly 1" OD.  Maybe that's what you're looking for?
