Update!!
ok i got the piece out of the block by using a dremel tool with the cutting wheel. Tip the cutting wheel is almost as big as the housing so grind it down a bit on concrete or a junk peice of iron if not be carefull not to cut into the housing or you will have to fill the cut before installing anything. Make a cut not too deep but deep enough to stick a flat head screwdriver tip in it and pry it til it breaks off repeat until you get it out or get to the o-ring once you remove a piece of the o-ring it comes out easily !

Im about to head to the junkyard and see if my pump assembly will interchange with a lesabre grand am assembly which uses plastic elbows on both ends !!
