Mike, did you even read where it broke off?

Use needle nose pliers, or any set of pliers and grab it.

Oops, I geuss I skiped a couple words.

If what EeePee sais doesn't work then you may have to clamp the pinion and drill out the screw. Then re tap it .

Can you get vice grips on there? Or draw a saw across it, or Dremel a slot, and then use a flat screw driver.
