Power washer chemical connection broke

Power washer chemical connection broke
Craftsman Power Washer Model 580.752310.
The connection for the chemical (soap dispensing) fitting broke off flush with the pump block. This is where I connect the plastic tubing to the washing solution.
Any ideas on how to remove the broken section in the pump body?
Attached is a parts exploded view. But to honest I can't clearly identify which assembly I need. The "J" or the "G"

I determined it's the "G" assembly in the parts list. and I found it available for about $17 on line. Before ordering new part I'd like to get the old out first.
Any suggestions? Maybe an easy-out screw extractor? Possible drilling it out. Any hints on how bets to do it?

Went to the Sears site and I guess this was a problem as the new ones are brass.
I would not try drilling it out. Too easy to screw up the threads.
I am not sure you can get a screw extractor that big. Also it may give an outward force and since the part is plastic it would expand it making it tighter.
Looks like it is plastic.
I would try to cut a notch at the top with a knife or pick. Then with a flat screwdriver and a hammer back it out.
Better yet a notch on either side and a screwdriver of the correct width and unscrew it.
If you do not have a driver of the correct width then cut a piece of metal to the correct width and use that as a screwdriver

It does not look like a totally clean break so find a indent and try backing it out with a small cold chisel.
