EBPS stem broke in Bracket
Well I have been getting eratic ebp readings while driving and with KOEO, 1+ psi difference from map and baro, so I decided to replace sensor and clean tube. (I did spray it down with blaster for a couple days 1st before trying to remove). Sensor stem broke in bracket. This will be the 1st time it has been removed. Has anyone had luck getting the stem out of bracket? Do I just need to order a new bracket?
Looking at bracket plate , I noticed what looked like RTV? Is there something that will leak out when I remove it? Just want to be sure before I continue with repair,
Any advise is appreciated

Should I put a little anti seize on threads of sensor or tube to make life a little easier later if I have to ever remove again?
Thanks for the advise and help.

If it's rated for high enough temp, then it can't hurt. Truthfully though it shouldn't really be that tight to begin with. Unless you're sled pulling or some other race application 90+% of the time it's only holding 10# or less over atmospheric. No need to get crazy stupid tight w/ those numbers.
If you happen to have a 1/8 npt tap rolling around in the toolbox you can drill out what's left of the sensor, then chase out the threads w/ the tap. If all goes well you have a spare for just in case or to bail a buddy out of a bind. If it doesn't no harm no foul. It's already screwed up not like I can make it worse, that's the philosophy I live by anyway.
