Differential vent tubes

I've been rebuilding/ restoring an 87 pathfinder and upon inspection when I first got it both the front and rear diff vent tubes were pulled out/ broken off of the differential cases. The front is an easy fix but as for the rear does anyone have any idea on how to remove the old tube that's been broken off in the case?

 

I'm thinking some heat and a spiral bolt extractor to twist it out? I have a parts truck that I could take the vent tube out of, it's a 97 hardbody with I think the r200 rear end? I'm not sure the vent tube is the same size but I suppose I could tap the existing hole and thread in a barbed nipple fitting.

 

I plan on running the vent lines up front to a water separator just for peace of mind and the occasional deeper water excursions.
