Greetings, been working on/against a shallow well pump and managed to snap off the injector at the bolt head see the pic below. I have a bolt extractor kit but too small. was wondering if anyone out there had any magic tricks for doing something brilliant like I did here... thank you

I am thinking that an internal pipe wrench would be the tool, but I don't know which brand/model is better.

Maybe sawing radial slots down barely to metal threads with a hacksaw blade, and then picking out the plastic with a steel dental pick, small screwdriver or other pick tool, would succeed.

Maybe it is time for a new pump, although if you located the venturi at a reasonable price, I can see why you would want to continue.

Believe me I dont want to continue but this is a new pump really 5 years is not much on a jacuzzi. Kind of hard to find someone to work on this located where I am. Appreciate the reply and the internal pipe wrench is a good idea. I have found new venturi so I am on the mend hopefully.
