Brass tub spigot snapped off, leaving the PCV broken off between the brass spigot and the brass valve body.
In attempting to remove the remaining PVC adapter from the valve body, the PVC broke off cleanly at the brass line - leaving the male-PVC thread in the female-brass valve body, with NO PVC protruding. I am considering attempting to remove the remaining PVC from the valve using a #7 Fluted Screw Extractor:

I am working through an 8"x8" hole in the sheetrock, from the far side of a chase-wall - about 12" inches from the valve with the residual PVC... a tight spot, with not much maneuvering room (sound familiar?) - much less room for tools. Would love to use a right-angle drill with a full-size extractor, but I'd have to cut out a lot more wall.
Would greatly appreciate feedback - and any alternative suggestions.
Thank you.
