ok so i had to change the heater bypass house under the plenum today but i guess i put the wrong end in and went to far. i ended up breaking it not meaning to but part of the end is still in there. so my questions is am i going to have to take the whole intake manifold off to get it out and if so what all do i need to do to replace the manifold gasket. i know it is different then doing the 3.4l but will i have to set all the rockers and everything?and how should i do the end gaskets on the intake manifold. all info is welcome. thanks

Nope. Most parts stores sell an extractor designed for such issues. Same one used on a SBC to remove corroded heater hose fittings.
