While replacing the oil cooler, I have snapped oil cooler inlet and outlets. Have managed to remove the inlet from feed oil hose connector. But unfortunately the oil cooler outlet has become stuck inside the return oil hose connector, as per photo.

Would be grateful for suggestions how to remove the outlet piece from the oil hose connector.

Maybe try heating up the outer nut?

My other concern was whether there could be a risk that some small bits of metal could end up somewhere and do some damage - maybe safer getting a new hose?

If the connector has galled onto the remains of the oil cooler then it is probably not reusable anyway.

Bin the hose too.
You can get a nice swaged hose witha connector like that from a hydraulic supply shop. The might even make it on site , whiole you wait.
Cost? £30 or so.
