1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle mileage: 155,000. I am replacing the fuel pump. The intermediate flange which the push rod goes through broke off in the hole, which goes to the crank casing. How do I get it out? The flange is plastic and appears to be stuck pretty well.

Try an “easy out” tool to pull it out or select a proper size tap and thread it. Then use a bolt to remove it.
