Polaris Wall Fitting Broke in Wall-fixed

[JodieM]

While removing the Polaris wall fitting, the outer rim cracked and broke off leaving the inner collar threaded inside. I searched this forum and found an old thread that gave a few ideas. I used the suggestion of taking a metal spackle knife, inserting into the stuck fitting, lining up the knife edges with the open slots inside the fitting. Using vice grips I was able to turn the fitting and eventually remove it. Thanks for the idea @JamesW .

Here is a link to the old thread:
