I have a super rusty Mazda CX-9 and a connection for the coolant line snapped. I have removed the spring clip, but I am unable to remove the broken rusty part stuck in the pipe.

I have tried pulling, twisting, and inserting a straight pick, so you can free the edges. It is stuck.

How can I get this out?

The simple thing to do is crush it inside the hose. That should break it loose and you can then pull it out. Just try not to damage the hose while you're doing this. If you can even break part of the rusty part away from the hose, the rest should peel away from it fairly easily.
