Temperature sensor broken off

When I was removing the water temperature sensor only the 'screw' part came off and part is still in the hole. No way to grab it with pliers or anything. Anybody a suggestion on how to remove it? Push it in and try to find it somewhere in the tubes? Try to force it out with a lever forced inside the system?

Hi,
I had the same problem. I took a pin punch (
