Heater water outlet tube connector

Hey guys
I have a 2001 F150 with the v-6 engine. A couple of days ago the truck started leaking water and overheating. I figured it was the waterpump so I replaced it, come to find out that wasn't the problem. When I was refilling the radiator water started pouring out and i found a broken aluminum elbow piece that connects the heater water outlet tube to the manifold under the throttle body. I got the replacement part but the problem is there is about an inch worth of aluminum pipe stuck in my manifold that i cannot get out. It is in a difficult spot an I do not have a lot of room to work with, any suggestions on getting it out?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
