Nipple Extractor Stuck in Pipe after trying to remove shower arm remnants

[TobyJ]

Hi -

Old shower arm broke off with the threads still in the pipe. The nipple extractor caught the threads and pulled out maybe the front half. When I went back in to try to grab the others, it initially got stuck tight and then after budging it loose it's free-spinning but stuck in there. Presumably it's hanging onto some threads inside the pipe that makes it too wide to get it out. Ideas?

Nope, unfortunately had to call a plumber and he replaced the whole thing
