Dropped my SXK 60

OUCH! I'm sorry to see that!
If there is enough of the connector sticking up/out, you may be able to get a pair of pliers and twist it out. If there is not, then it may be possible to use a screwdriver to "catch" a rough edge and give you enough leverage to back out the connector a little until you can grip it with pliers and twist it all the way out. If that doesn't work either, then it's possible you could use a dremel to cut a little groove in the center of the broken pin and use a screwdriver to get it out.
Hopefully someone will come along and have some more ideas if none of those work for you!

Use a tiny drill bit to bite into the 510 connection and then un chuck the drill bit and turn it with pliers. Its a common way to back out a broken bolt.
I tried the first thing you mentioned, no luck, I'll try the screw driver idea
thanks
I hope you get it out. Good Luck!!!I tried the first thing you mentioned, no luck, I'll try the screw driver idea

How do you like your SXK 60 btw? I always liked the form factor of them.
Any luck with getting the broken part out yet?
A dear friend of mine(Caff) was kind enough to take a look at it for me, he's handy with these things, got me all fixed up(Thank you Caff!!!)
It's on it's way back to me now
You need whats called an Easyout and a drill any hardware store has it..some may even get it out for ya since you are a LadyAnd the tank screw snapped off inside the 510 connection Is it ruined now??
I don't dare try to pry around with it.....
