Your shower arm has threads that thread into a drop eared ell, (see image) that's just inside the wall. If I were faced with this I would take a very small and very sharp chisel and cut the chrome over brass threads or get the chisel under the threads to whjere you can peel the threads out. They also make a 1/2" Easy-Out,(see image) that will back the broken threads out. Good luck, Tom
