My radiator fill cap reached the end of it's life expactancy today.. While driving the head broke off leaving the hollowed out (hollow about the size of a pencil) threaded section still in the radiator.   How can I remove this? It almost appears fused in place. Any help would be appreciated.

Mike I'll add a little to the story.  I have had intermittent AC use for a while now. (Blower fan stopping and starting while AC in use). It was having its normal spasm when it blew the cap off. I have tried to use easy out (screw extractor) to remove the cap to no avail. I just may have made the whole bigger and dropped little pieces into the radiator. (I figure I can flush them out later)
 
Thanks again
