How did you break it?

You need to provide us with some more detail than that.

it doesnt matter how its broken you have 3 options you can clamp onto whats left with a pair of vice grips as hard as you can and in one swift move try to get it to turn. or you can drill into the center of it and get a reverse thread kit from an auto parts store and back it out that way. or the last and only other way thier is you can cut a deep slit in the center of the sensor with a dremel tool cutoff disc and jam a flathead into it then take a pair of vice grips and clamp down on the handle of the screwdriver and twist it like a ratchet if these dont work nothing will... good luck im sure you will get it.
