If I drive it further into the block I think I will have a more difficult time retrieving it--but I will use your method of tapping the block and installing a brass fitting for the repair--I have the tap and I will stuff a rag in the hole to catch the metal. I stuck a 3/8 extension in the hole and it bottoms out at about 1 1/2 inches--the material left in the hose is about 1 inch--I imaging the part in the block is about 1 inch. A 9/16 drill bit seems like it fits snugly--I might try to lightly tap that into the block and try to pull out the remains of the fitting--I'll let you know the outcome
