Default sprinkler woes

Vrstull wrote:

And old metal sprinkler got whacked by the lawnmower. Didn't do either much
good. The sprinkler/riser was metal and it broke off flush so no way to get a
pipe wrench on it to remove it. Is there a way to get out the piece of the
riser remaining, which BTW looks thoroughly rusted? If so, how's it done.
Absent that I guess it's dig up the line a little and splice in a new section.
TIA for any help.

If it's threaded, use an "internal nipple wrench", available anywhere they
sell plumbing tools. Cheap, too.

Best regards,
