PVC removal

[masterplumbers]

I have a pvc pipe broken inside a plastic fitting. I have to remove the cemented pvc from within the plastic fitting. The fitting is the base of a pool filter, and is fairly imobile. The PVC pipe broke so that none of the pipe extends outside of the plastic fitting.Any ideas???Thanks!

I have a nearly identical problem with my spa. The solution proposed earlier wont work for me because my filter housing is one piece and the pipe is glued to it. A spa store told me to remove the pvc using a pipe reamer. They showed me one for 2 diameter pipe. Its made specifically for pvc and looks like a disc on a shaft for mounting to a power drill. Trouble is I havent found one for 1.5 pipe.
