Make a tool to fit in the hole on each side of the nipple. Then get a easy out on it to screw it out. Simple, only take a little time to do it.

Its a bit of a pain, but take the snap ring off and take the plate off. I have done it numerous times. I clean my accumulator every so often. Then you can put some heat on it (not too much) and I would put vise grips on it and see what happens.

Get a pipe easy out. They have a hex head and a short extractor spline. I use them at work a lot, they rarely fail.

Its a bit of a pain, but take the snap ring off and take the plate off. EZ-Outs are marginal in brass and you'll get shavings inside the accumulator.

Then you can put some heat on it (not too much) and I would put vise grips on it and see what happens. Those snap rings just flat out suck. I bought the lisle heavy duty snap ring tool. I don't see how it's going to help taking it off. I won't be able to keep the retainer from moving around.

1) remove snap ring 2) remove plate 3) clamp plate in vise with soft jaws on faces of plate 4) take die grinder and grind two slots in nipple 180 degrees apart 5) collapse nipple with hammer and punch 6) chase threads and clean all debris from plate 7) install plate 8) install snap ring 9) done

You could try sliding a properly sized long socket into the brass fitting and then use vice grips to clamp onto it hard and screw it out. The socket will keep it from collapsing while you try and clamp onto it.
Probably best to do what the guys above are recommending, so you can clean the cylinder while it's apart.

Take the snap ring out. Takes the right tool and two hands. I took mine apart at least once a year and cleaned it out. You will be amazed (disgusted) at the trash those things collect.
Clamp the end plate up, use some heat and a good easy-out. Worst case you'll have to drill it, knock the pieces out and fix the threads.
ETA...failed to read all the way...but it still should be cleaned out occasionally.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

glad you got it out. broken brass can be a real pain at times to remove, especially if over-tightened, causing stretched and/or galled threads. Tell me about it. I thought the other end was going to be worse. It wasn't. Moroso puts some crazy thread sealer on the fitting.
