I was going to put different styled fittings in this 727, and it broke. What can I do to fix it?

Remove it with an easyout. Then install a new fitting.

easy outs are junk, I tap in a torx bit and back it out, works every time.

Agreed, the easy out will just grind out the inner diameter of the brass, use the torx bit method.

I use a square 4 edged ez out on those fittings when they break.

I learn something new here all the time.

thanks,I will try that torx bit trick next time I have a trans fitting broke.

Yep, the spiral type EZ-Out will usually just spin in the brittle brass but the square type will work.
