Tell Tale Elbow Broken and Stuck

Hello,

The tell tale elbow broke on my 1998 Force and its stuck and secured in the hole with some type of adhesive.

I tried a screw removed and it wouldn't even budge it.

Would the best plan of action be to tap the hole and create some new threads for a new elbow?

Here are some pictures:

Is the elbow plastic? Yes, then it should be easy to remove and replace.
Not plastic, then an easy out and a small torch should be all you need to remove it.
Home Depot or any hardware store should have the elbow????
Let us know how it works out?

It's plastic yes. I wish it was easy to remove. It's been glued in with some type of adhesive.

I tried a screw extractor and it just bogged the drill down.
