Angry coolant sensor broke inside

Maybe someone here can help me- I tried to change the coolant sensor in my 2004 Dodge Ram (5.7 L, 4x4 w/ Hemi) and instead of unscrewing out, it broke off inside. I have tried everything to get it out, including a right angle drill. Now I have most of the innards out, but the thread is still stuck. Also the coolant leaked out sometime during the night. Any ideas? Does anyone know if I can fix this now or will I have to take it to a mechanic?? Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.....

EZ out. You may need to split the remaining piece. Then ez out it. Or drill it the re tap it.

I vote to take off the clutch fan, pull the rad shroud with the washer and coolant bottle and then the rad. Then you can have more room and can go straight in
