The shower arm broke off at the threads and now the threading is stuck in the other pipe how do you remove old threading to replace the arm?

Easy-Outs and Internal Pipe Wrenches seldom work--they are not sized closely enough to what you need to remove the thin-wall pipe of the broken arm.
But this method really works:
Take a #10 (10") tapered flat file and hammer it into the broken thread section. The grooves in the file should grip the broken piece, and you can use pliers to turn the file and unthread the broken piece. You may need to hammer it in pretty hard so the file gets an adequate grip.

How do you remove a shower water restrictor?
The ones that I am used to are in the shower head. You have to remove the shower head or nozzle using a wrench. The restrictor should be right in the front where it connects to the pipe. It's just usually a small piece of plastic that only allows so much water to pass through. Remove that and you can put the shower head back on. If the fitting leaks you may need to get some teflon tape to wrap around the threads when you put it back on. Have a good shower.

How To Install a Massaging Shower Head?
At the end of a long day, few things feel better than using a massaging shower head on your neck, shoulders and scalp. The hot water pounding on you can relax your muscles and prepare your body for a good night’s sleep. A massaging shower head isn’t expensive, and you can install it yourself with a few simple tools. Step 1: First you have to remove the old shower head. Use a chair or stool in your shower so you’re at a good angle to work on the shower head. Try a crescent or adjustable wrench first to loosen the nut holding on the old shower head by turning it to the left. If the nut is too tight or is held on with calcium build-up, you’ll have to use Vise-Grips to remove it. If you do this, be very careful to twist only the nut, not the shower arm. You do not want to break off the shower arm. Step 2: Use a cleaner and a small brush to clean the threads on the shower arm. Remove as much residue and build-up as possible. Let it dry thoroughly. Step 3: Wrap the threads of the shower arm with plumber’s tape. Most new shower heads include plumber’s tape in the package, but don’t skip this step even if you have to buy a roll of tape separately. Step 4: The next steps may vary somewhat based on your individual model of massaging shower head. Be sure to read and follow all package directions. In most cases, you’ll slide a washer onto the shower arm, followed by the shower head. Be careful to line up the threads on the shower head nut with the threads on the shower arm. If they don’t line up right, your shower head will leak. Step 5: Use a wrench to tighten the nut on the shower head. If it starts going crooked, loosen it and try again. Step 6: When the nut is fully tightened, turn the shower on and inspect the shower head carefully for any leaks around the nut. If you find a leak, turn the shower off, dry the shower head and tighten the nut further. If that doesn’t fix the problem, you may have to remove the shower head, add more plumber’s tape and screw the shower head on again.
