Petcock valve removal

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove a broken plastic petcock valve off the radiator on a 850 turbo. It is broken flush with the insert. Love the plastic on the cars!!!!!!!

If you need to drain the system, yank the lower hose. Mine broke and is gonna stay broke.

Also called a bolt removal tool. Basically it is a reverse drill bit, as you turn it, it bites into the broken part (bolt, screw, etc) and backs it out
