schrader valve removal tips

Need some tips for removing a broken valve. The bar used to tighten and loosen the valve broke when I tried tightening the valve to stop a leak. It's a r12 valve in the high pressure hard line at the compressor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, ill try that next. I found a tip online about using a t15 torx bit and biting into the opening. I have some with a hole in the middle for removing Ford ignition switches I was going to try when it clears up.
