With Shopvac, or any big or normal size vacs, the problem is, they have too much suction and if you decide to convert it into a small tube this size, it will either suck the whole thing inside if it can, or, if it cannot, it will choke the motor eventually.
Of course, an adaptor can be made such that the small tube is just one of a few openings so the suction portion through it is sizeable enough to have some good effect on small things.
This, paired with the chassis turned upside down (or in a way that the broken piece is oriented straight down, so the gravity helps and if the piece is dislodged, it does not fall right back when out of the well, at which point the suction weakens) might just work.
I have this thing. Have to say, it does suck well. Blows well too.

These are sold for $25 - $50 on Amazon.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
