Broken zerk - what now?

Broken zerk - what now?
I got limiting straps for my current setup (OME 891 rear spring + OME N86C rear shock), but couldn't mount them right,
so I took them off and went off-roading anyway.
I was under the truck today and what I see? - no zerk on the rear drive shaft and a nice dent on the gas tank skid plate. :wtf:
I guess OME setup really needs limiting straps.
Anyway... what to do now?
How to remove remains of the zerk from the joint?
so I took them off and went off-roading anyway.

On this last run, I had just installed OME in the rear and really banged things out under the truck

After looking at the gas tank skid plate I rather think now that limiting up-travell will help rather than down-travell limiting straps.
Of course I'm putting the straps anyway.
BTW to get the zerk out I used a 6-arm-star screwdriver.
I hammered it into the zerk and then unscrew it.
