well is the bolt completely broken where it is flushed to the surface or some of it is sticking out? well from what i would think you mean..you might have to get that extracted and re tapped..
good luck!

I don't have much time these days b/c of work, but I have a in-lb torque wrench if you need to borrow it. You could stop by my house most evenings...I live in Newcastle. (if you're interested, email me : peterumino@hotmail.com)

thanks a lot for the offer first 350.. but i thought it would be a good idea to buy one anyways..it seems like it is a very important tool in fixing our cars.. do you have any idea on where to buy one?? i went to home depot and ACE hardware.. and they both didnt have it.. they only have ft/lbs torque wrench. thanks a lot

if any of the bolt is sticking out, grab it with vice grips and work it out with those.
