Coolant T connector replacement

Hello guys.
I am almost at the end of replacing T connector for coolant system in my mini.
However, when pulling out the broken pieces of the connector, I think that some small piece had fallen further into the hose marked with the arrow. Has anyone had a similar situation? How do I get it out? I think it's a bad idea to leave it inside.

Thanks for help

vacum cleaner and it's done Had to clean it later but it was worth it. That piece of plastic was not so small.
The most important is that brass T connector is mounted. I still have a small leak somewhere but I will find it.
Thanks for reply - topic closed
