Hi experts

I have never done any plumbing work before. While trying to open the ptrap for cleaning I accidentally broke the nut that is joining the elbow towards drain and is now leaking, please see picture.
Can I replace this nut ? If yes, by what name can i get it as during lockdown cannot go to a store and only option is online ordering.
When I search for it I only find the full assembly of 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 ptrap where I have the following problems
1. It does not come with the extension that I have to connect to sink tail pipe
2. The elbow in my existing assembly is glued so cannot get it out easily and put the new one.
I did ordered a slip nut 1 1/4" from Rona but it is much smaller to this one.

Please guide what can be done in this situation.

You will need to replace the p-trap

You need:
1 1/2 ABS coupling
1 1/2 ABS p trap
1 1/4 x 1 1/2 ABS trap adapter
2’ of 1 1/2 ABS pipe
ABS cement
 
Thanks. For this, do I need to cut the elbow which is connected to drain as it is glued?

A new p Trap comes with an elbow. Cut the pipe halfway between the elbow and the tee and start over
 
Or, you could buy an 1 1/2" abs tub trap and use only the bottom part that has the new nut on it. Also buy a
11/2" trap adaptor and a 11/2"x11/4" washer and a small piece of 11/2" abs pipe and hook it up exactly like it is now.
