Yeah. I just broke the brass elbow off in my wagon. Since I'm not too
enamored with the engine anyways, I just patched it up with JB Weld. But
I was plenty upset.

The problem I ran into was that I knocked the oil pressure sender with the
alternator (gotta love how the 240 accessories are laid out). I could
tighten it to stop the leak, but it would interfere with the alternator.
I couldn't remove the whole thing because the sender itself would smack
the oil filter housing.

It *is* soft brass, so you should be able to extract it with some ease.
I've never done that sort of thing, ever, and didn't want to end up with a
broken ez-out in the block or possibly shavings in the oil passages... so
I took the stupid way out.

YMMV.
